P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Marc Marquez insists Aprilia’s early MotoGP dominance was no surprise, with Marco Bezzecchi’s pace already clear before the 2026 season began.
Marc Marquez believes Aprilia’s strong start to the 2026 MotoGP season was foreseeable and not surprising, despite Ducati’s previous dominance. Marco Bezzecchi has won all three races, with teammate Jorge Martin also performing well. Pedro Acosta and Fabio di Giannantonio are also showcasing strong performances for KTM and VR46 respectively. Marquez is currently fifth overall without a grand prix podium, with his only win in the Goiania Sprint. Although some doubted last year’s Aprilia form, Marquez always saw their potential, which has now come to fruition in the current season. Others, like fellow Honda rider Diogo Moreira and VR46’s Franco Morbidelli, view the surprises and competitiveness in MotoGP with appreciation and awe.
