T
he 2026 Red Bull Grand Prix of The United States will
be marked as one in which Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia
Racing) firmly put his stamp of authority on the Mo-
toGP pack, taking what looked like a relatively simple win
on Sunday after crashing out of the Sprint race yet again.
The Aprilia man was almost untouchable in the big race
on Sunday, controlling the pace to lead home teammate
Jorge Martin for the second Aprilia Racing team 1-2 in as
many races, with Pedro Acosta coming home third.
In Moto2, Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) held
off relentless pressure from first Barry Baltus (REDS Fantic
Racing) and later Celestino Vietti (HDR SpeedRS Team) to
take his third career win in a chaotic race that saw many
crashes and a red flag before the first lap was completed.
In Moto3, Guido Pini (Leopard Racing) announced his ar
-
rival as a GP winner, taking a last-corner cliffhanger ahead
of Maximo Quiles (CFMoto Valresa Aspar Team) and Alvaro
Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo).
