P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Aprilia went from the highest to the lowest-scoring MotoGP constructor in Malaysia, but Marco Bezzecchi says Sepang was still “super good” for future development.
Aprilia had high hopes for their RS-GP’s performance at Sepang, aiming to continue their recent success and strengthen their chances for a 2026 MotoGP title challenge.
However, despite winning three out of the last four races, including the dominant performance at Phillip Island, Aprilia only managed to score ten constructors’ points at Sepang, the lowest among manufacturers.
Marco Bezzecchi, the team’s lead rider, acknowledged the challenges of the weekend but remained positive about the progress made, highlighting areas for improvement.
Although Bezzecchi faced difficulties with setting up his bike and tire choices, he managed to secure a respectable sixth in the Sprint race and eleventh in the Grand Prix.
Despite a tough weekend, Bezzecchi still holds third place in the world championship, with Aprilia maintaining a slim 30-point lead over KTM in the constructor standings.
The team remains focused on refining their performance and aiming for stronger results in the remaining rounds at Portimao and Valencia.
