00:00But he hasn't really met, somebody's gone down, so it's not Marco Betsecki, you can see him top left of
00:05your screen, sees a guy, I think it might be Peko Banjaya, who had just taken 11th place, unfortunately though,
00:11he is now out of this Grand Prix, his miserable start to 2026 continues.
00:17Well, a lot of people wondered whether there was going to be any kind of hangover from his Dismore 2025,
00:22and we're getting our answer at the moment, Downey goes into the first corner, in pursuit of Johan Zarco's LCR
00:28Honda, and that's the exact same crash that Zarco had himself in the sprint yesterday.
00:33Oh dear, Banjaya, it's another double DNF for Johan Mir, yesterday he got a bit of a helping hand into
00:42the gravel trap after Ralph Fernandes' early aggression in the sprint, this one though is all of his own doing
00:47as he rolls off the side of the tyre, going into turn four.
00:51This is a Grand Prix, as I mentioned on the warm-up lap of survival, no one is guaranteed any
00:56kind of result until they see the chequered flag waving in their face, as we look overhead once again, as
01:02Betsecki puts a serious response in to Jorge Martin there, a 1.18, 6.54, Betsecki with the fastest lap
01:09of the Grand Prix, saying to Jorge Martin, hey team mate, I've got this one firmly under control.
01:14That is a 34th GP DNF in 58 for HRC, for Johan Mir, what a miserable experience he's had in
01:23Goianya, that's astonishing pace isn't it by Marco Betsecki, half distance almost completed here in Brazil, and he is just
01:33rubbing their nose at the moment, kicking sand in their faces, a 1.18.654, you're supposed to be going
01:39slower at this stage at the Grand Prix Marco, not faster.
01:41Well, myself and Matt have the honour and the pressure of choosing the overtake of the race nominees at the
01:47end of this Grand Prix, potentially a contender just there with Alex Marquez taking Pepio Acosta into turn one, Alex
01:53Marquez now up into fifth place, that's the good news for Alex, the bad news is he's got two seconds
01:58to try and make up if he's to join the battle for the final podium position between Fabio Gian Antonio
02:03and Marc Marquez.
02:04Where's your vote, going for ride of the race of course, you can't vote now, there'll be a lot of
02:09support for Marco Betsecki, I'm sure a lot of support for Jorge Martin as well, as Pedro Acosta climbs all
02:15over the rear tyre of Alex Marquez's beautiful Baros Brazilian livery for Grosini, the catty.
02:22Over the line we go, Marco Betsecki, fair play to Martin in second, he's trying to keep Bez honest at
02:28the front of this Grand Prix, Martin has just set his personal best lap of the race, a 1.18
02:33.802, but the gap has not come down to under 1.7 seconds, has it?
02:39That's a gap that you feel is more than capable of Betsecki managing at the front, just keeping a close
02:46eye on the Digio-Marco Marquez battle, a bit of a repeat for first and second in yesterday's sprint, nothing
02:51between those two in terms of lap times, low 1.19 for the pair.
02:54How important is that start going to prove to be for Marco Betsecki to get the advantage into the first
03:00corner and build that early advantage whilst Martin was stuck in a little bit of traffic, the traffic that only
03:05opened up for him once Dijan Antonio and Mark Marquez moved out of his way, because it's clear isn't it,
03:10as soon as Jorge Martin has been in clear air in second place, he's had similar if not faster pace
03:15to Marco Betsecki, they've been trading pretty fast laps, the lead has hovered around sort of 1.7, 1.8
03:21seconds, very little to choose between the two, but for Jorge Martin,
03:24the damage in terms of winning this Grand Prix might have been done in the first sector of the race.
03:28Big payday back and see, doesn't it, for Betsecki, as Pedro Acosta on the inside of Alex Marquez, well, whatever
03:35room there was there, he decided to take it come what may, didn't he?
03:39Alex Marquez then trying to line him up on the exit of the final corner, Marco Betsecki will be taking
03:44the world championship lead as it stands right now, that's why Pedro Acosta's fighting tooth and nail to try and
03:49limit the damage,
03:50and having compromised his exit speed with the aggressive injury into 13, Alex Marquez does dish out some retaliation and
03:58wrestles back P5.
03:59And I, Agora, with the front row seat of this battle in P7, and he'll be, once again, a little
04:05bit frustrated with the pace he has, but he can't use any of it,
04:08because, once again, he is stuck in traffic, it was Fabio Quattararo that he was staring at for much of
04:12the sprint yesterday, this time it's Acosta and Alex Marquez,
04:15because you fancy that Agora would have the pace to be in this Digio Marquez battle if he could just
04:19clear the pair ahead of him.
04:21This is just Riemann, isn't it, right now, for Aprilia, what a motorcycle they have uncreated for the likes of
04:28Foy Martin and Marco Betsecki,
04:30those two are delivering, aren't they, here on Sunday in Brazil.
04:34Betsecki, 1.9 clear of Martin, what has Marc Marquez got left later on?
04:40He said, in Borja, he was just happy to save energy and save rubber crucially,
04:45as he was trying to find a way to close in on Ralfa Dandas later on in that Tiger Ampere,
04:49before that real freak tyre incident brought him out of contention.
04:53Is this now the plan for Marc?
04:56Is he just going to wait and try and rescue third place here, Leighton, from the Gell'Antonio?
05:01He can forget about the Aprilias, they are long gone.
05:03They are exchanging mid to high 18th, personal best for Martin on 18th 7 last time around,
05:08but Betsecki a tenth quicker, and here's another Aprilia making moves up the order.
05:12Ayagora now into the top six at the expense of Acosta.
05:16Looks like a bit of a sitting duck right now, doesn't he, Acosta, on that KTM.
05:20Sofrae tyre, of course.
05:21Yeah, having barred Alex Marquez out of the way at turn 13 a couple of laps ago.
05:25A block pass, I guess he thought, well, if I can get ahead of Alex Marquez,
05:29and then just maybe block him for a few laps,
05:31and we know we saw on so many occasions last year
05:34what an awesome defensive rider Pedro Acosta could be,
05:38but, yeah, has he just punished that rear tyre too much?
05:40Zagura made light work even there on the run down to turn one.
05:43Because this is, of course, lap 15, which was sprint distance yesterday.
05:47So past this point, we're now entering a territory
05:49that our soft rear tyre has not been into so far this weekend.
05:53So Pedro Acosta might well be a little bit concerned
05:55at the current pace that he's setting, doing mid-119s.
05:59He's now a second a lap off the race-leading pace.
06:02Pekka Banyaer is not even in this Grand Prix,
06:04and already after two Grand Prix weekends,
06:06Banyaer just with 10 points to his name.
06:09Not at the races at all has he been.
06:13A bit of chaos that's ensued ahead of him as seen Diogo Moreira
06:16elevated up into 13th place.
06:20You can just see him there.
06:21He's just ahead of Frankie Morbidelli.
06:24He's got Alex Rins directly ahead of him on circuit.
06:27Credit to Alex Rins.
06:28He's doing a pretty solid job out there at the moment,
06:30a respectable job to keep Yamaha inside the point to go in place.
06:36Fabio Quattara at the moment on course
06:37for a rather fortuitous single point.
06:40And now Bastionini on the last lap
06:42has picked off top-rack Roussat Lioglu, the 16th.
06:47That's a consolation prize,
06:48the best isn't it for the beast after the weekend he's had.
06:51That's a three-way battle at the moment.
06:52Quattara, Bastionini and top-rack, 15th, 16th and 17th.
06:56This is the battle now for third place,
06:59both in the 1.18s on the last lap.
07:01Digia and Marc Marquez,
07:03but unfortunately the horse or horses
07:04called the Puglias have bolted up at the front of the race.
07:09Yeah, I mean, it's still going to represent,
07:11if he holds on to the podium,
07:12a real strong weekend for Digia.
07:14Pole position, second in the sprint,
07:15and third in the Grand Prix.
07:17A 1-2-3 combo,
07:18but I think he'd have been expecting
07:20a little bit more here this afternoon,
07:21but once again on Sunday,
07:24the Puglia just seem to be able to raise there.
07:26They're able to just ramp it up a couple of gears
07:29and find another level
07:30and basically, let's be honest,
07:33they're crushing the opposition again,
07:34once again here in Brazil.
07:36Marco Betsechi is over the line.
07:37He's on lap 17 of 2023
07:40and he's still in the 18s.
07:42So too is Martin,
07:44sensing that Marc here
07:45is just starting to build up for his late threat.
07:49Marc Marquez now has just fired in
07:50a rare 1.18 for the factory Ducati rider.
07:54Well, I don't think even a grid-style samba show
07:57is going to break the concentration
07:58of Fabio Gian Antonio here,
08:00given what happened to him yesterday,
08:02right here in the sprint
08:03as he went wide
08:04and released the gold medal
08:06from around his neck
08:07and over the neck of Marc Marquez.
08:09Gian Antonio will be highly motivated here
08:11to get a little bit of revenge,
08:12not only on Marc Marquez,
08:13but I guess on himself
08:15after the mistake that cost him a win yesterday.
08:17Well, I had a pleasure of interviewing
08:19Marco Betsechi after his win in Burra.
08:21I had a bit of a post-race
08:22tie Grand Prix bet with him.
08:23If he won in Brazil,
08:24he'd do some samba on the podium.
08:27I'm sure he's forgotten that,
08:28but let's hope
08:30if he does get the job done,
08:31we're going to see a bit of samba.
08:33I'm sure we will do.
08:34He's got a good teacher, hasn't he,
08:35in the VR46 Academy
08:37from Frankie Morbidelli.
08:39How's Frankie getting on him?
08:40What is his second home Grand Prix?
08:41He's got a huge family and friends
08:43support here this weekend.
08:44Not really going Frankie's way down
08:46in 14th position at the moment.
08:48And, yeah, this threat
08:50is really starting to build here,
08:51isn't it, from Marc?
08:53He's piling the pressure on once again
08:55from Fabio de Gian Antonio.
08:57How many laps so far this weekend
08:58has Digia crossed the line
09:00and seen plus zero, 93?
09:02Digia's doing his level best.
09:03He just did his personal best
09:04on a 1.18.8 match by Marc Marquez.
09:07So, Digia is trying to prove
09:10a bit of a point here to Marc Marquez,
09:11but I've got everything it takes
09:12to hold you off
09:14in a head-to-head battle,
09:15which he didn't yesterday.
09:16He's still got another six laps
09:18to keep the world champion behind.
09:20Yeah, which ain't going to be
09:22an easy task, is it, at all?
09:23It was a task that he was
09:24almost up to in the sprint yesterday.
09:27Kept Marquez at bay until
09:28a couple laps from the end
09:30of the sprint.
09:30But he's got it all on here
09:32because Marc Marquez
09:34is really, really starting
09:35to put that pressure
09:36firmly on the 49.
09:38Potentially starting to come back
09:39at Martin a little bit
09:40in the last couple laps.
09:41See a bit of movement there
09:41for Marc Marquez around
09:42turn six.
09:43On the last lap,
09:44they were a tenth quicker
09:45than Jorge Martín.
09:46Already on this lap so far,
09:48they've pulled another
09:48tenth and a half back.
09:50Don't think Martín or Aprilia
09:51will be panicking just yet,
09:53but Martín might need to just
09:54squeeze a little bit more pace
09:55out of that Aprilia
09:56just to safeguard that second place.
09:58Now, I'm not Jorge Martín,
10:00and I'm not Jorge Martín's
10:01representatives,
10:01but these kind of performances
10:03are making it hard and hard
10:04to fathom why he would
10:06potentially, if you believe
10:08the rumours, be jumping out
10:09of the factory Aprilia
10:11squad to Yamaha.
10:13Leading Yamaha at the moment,
10:15by the way, is in 14th place.
10:17Alex Rins, who is, what,
10:19some 15 or so seconds
10:20and changed back
10:21from the race leader
10:22as the battle for third
10:24continues.
10:25Yeah, it's a bit of a
10:26conundrum for Jorge Martín.
10:27Who knows?
10:28Jorge Martín might well
10:29be in the running
10:30to challenge for a second
10:31MotoGP World title this season.
10:33If this Aprilia
10:34is the dominant package
10:35in the first two Grand Prixs,
10:36then over the next 20,
10:38of course, still an awful
10:38long way to go in the season,
10:39and Ducati will not
10:41take this line down,
10:42but Aprilia, as we've discussed,
10:43surely at the moment,
10:44have the reference motorcycle.
10:46Do we have a new favourite
10:47already at this stage
10:48for the MotoGP World Championship?
10:50I'll tell you what,
10:51if Aprilia go to Austin
10:52next weekend
10:53and do this again,
10:54as Marc Marquez,
10:55the king of Cota,
10:56is putting some manners
10:56on Faberge Gian Antonio.
10:58This is a bit of a
10:59personal duel, isn't it?
11:00Marc Marquez back
11:01into third place.
11:03Listen to the roar
11:04of the Brazilian fans.
11:06They've got Diogo Moreira
11:07running in the point,
11:08scoring place down
11:09in 13th place,
11:10but as he is
11:11all around the world,
11:12Marc Marquez is so,
11:13so popular.
11:14He's going to lose
11:15some driver, isn't he?
11:16Now coming out of turn 12.
11:18Marc Marquez,
11:18and he had to wait
11:19for a mistake
11:19from Gian Antonio
11:20to seize the lead
11:21in the sprint yesterday.
11:22This time he's decided
11:23to take matters
11:24into his own hands.
11:25That was aggressive,
11:26wasn't it,
11:26by Marc,
11:26going through that
11:276-7 complex,
11:28the two left-handers.
11:30So then,
11:30Digia,
11:31have you got anything
11:32to try and fight back
11:33and deny Marc Marquez
11:35his first Grand Prix podium
11:36of 2026?
11:37Of course,
11:37Digia put a pretty tough move
11:38on Marc early on
11:39which released Martin through.
11:41Digia,
11:41much like he did
11:42in the sprint yesterday,
11:43was able to get up
11:43alongside Marc Marquez
11:44but can't outbrake him
11:45into the first corner.
11:47And this is deja vu
11:48for Digia,
11:4924 hours on.
11:51Yeah,
11:52could well be.
11:53This is at turn 4
11:54where he has already
11:55put on some aggressive moves
11:56that goes through
11:56the fastest corner circuit
11:58into 3,
11:59now into 4.
12:00Marc goes super defensive,
12:01there's just nothing.
12:02He wasn't going to leave
12:03any kind of inch there
12:05for the Gian Antonio
12:05to throw that VL46
12:07to Cati
12:07on the inside.
12:09What about now
12:09through 5,
12:11now through the left-handers
12:12of 6 and 7.
12:13This is where Marc
12:14attacked on the last lap.
12:15This has certainly
12:17eased the pressure
12:17on Jorge Martín
12:18for 2nd place.
12:19This was the move.
12:19Marc Marquez,
12:20bit of a block pass
12:21but perfectly legitimate,
12:22just stuffed it
12:23at the inside
12:24of Fabio Gian Antonio
12:24and said,
12:25Digia,
12:25you can tip it in
12:26as much as you want
12:27but I've got the high ground,
12:28I've got the inside line
12:29and I've got your 3rd place.
12:32That's how close it was.
12:34That is how close it was.
12:36It's the old cliche,
12:37isn't it,
12:37rubbing his racing.
12:38Digia Gian Antonio
12:39has got back ahead
12:39of Marc Marquez.
12:40You can see the live
12:41picture-in-picture screen there
12:43and the Gian Antonio,
12:44well,
12:44fair play to him,
12:45and Fabio is fighting fire
12:46with fire here.
12:48What a battle this is
12:49for the final place
12:50on the podium.
12:51Probably,
12:51certainly is going to
12:52cost him the chance
12:53to reel in Jorge Martín
12:55for 2nd
12:55but Fabio Di Gian Antonio,
12:57just as you knew he wouldn't,
12:58he ain't taking this line down.
13:00Yeah,
13:00so we're just
13:01trying to keep an eye on it.
13:03I told us to come to you
13:03agree,
13:03did Marc make a mistake
13:04or did Digia
13:05this deal have some revenge?
13:06We're going to see it now.
13:07Marc Marquez just wide,
13:09much like Digia was
13:10yesterday in the sprint.
13:11This time it was Fabio
13:12on the receiving end.
13:13Yeah,
13:14Marc was nearly down there,
13:15wasn't he?
13:15Go on the through 11
13:16and now he's got to do
13:17all the hard work over again,
13:19just about 2.5 laps
13:20remaining here
13:21in Brazil.
13:23Marco Vetseki
13:24in cruise control
13:26here
13:26in Goiânia.
13:27We pick up
13:28the runaway race leader
13:29who just is getting
13:32so accustomed to seeing
13:33clear tarmac ahead of him.
13:34Is he going to be your pick
13:36for rider of the race?
13:37What about the Gian Antonio
13:38or Marc Marquez
13:39in their epic fight
13:40once again
13:40for a podium position?
13:42I was about to mention it
13:43a moment ago
13:44before Marc Marquez
13:44engaged with Fabio Di Gian Antonio
13:46but if we're pretty
13:47to go to Austin
13:48and do this again
13:49as Jorge Martin
13:50makes a bit of a mistake
13:51into turn 11
13:53and they dominate
13:54at the circuit
13:55of the Americas
13:55where Marc Marquez
13:56has dominated
13:57through his entire
13:58MotoGP career
13:59then the alarm bells
14:00will be sounding
14:01loud and clear
14:02in Borgo Panagalli.
14:04Well, at least they're
14:05going to get out of Brazil
14:06with one bike
14:06on the podium
14:07it looks like.
14:08Of course,
14:09last time out in Burra
14:10Moducati on the podium
14:11for the first time
14:12in 89 Grand Prix's
14:14Moducati on the box
14:15for the first time
14:15in five long years
14:17but you have to say
14:18once again
14:19Aprilia
14:20are creaming the opposition
14:22aren't they?
14:22Marc Marquez then
14:23hard on the brakes
14:24into the long
14:25right-hander of turns
14:27one and two
14:28once again
14:29he closes up
14:30on Fabio Di Gian Antonio
14:32trying to make that
14:32Fiat 46 to Cati
14:34as wide
14:35as an 18-wheel truck
14:37right now
14:37as he did you?
14:38In two, four
14:39we go
14:39Marc Marquez
14:41nowhere near close enough
14:42to try and launch
14:43the tack
14:43he won't be close up
14:44either
14:44to make another move
14:45here at turn five
14:46like he did a few laps ago.
14:48Marc's a wily customer
14:49of course
14:49he's been down this road
14:50many times before
14:51one of course
14:52so many world championships
14:54I don't think he's going to launch
14:55a crazy one
14:56from too far back here
14:5713 points is better than nothing
14:59and at the moment
15:00he's not showing any signs
15:01of getting close enough
15:01to even launch a speculative one
15:03on Fabio Di Gian Antonio
15:04let's not forget as well
15:05even though this has been reduced
15:07by eight laps
15:07Marc Marquez has not completed
15:09a Grand Prix
15:10since he won the world championship
15:12in Matej over 170 days ago
15:16we still know he's probably not
15:18completely fully recovered
15:19with that right shoulder

31:59Hello.
32:00Hello.
32:27A me mi dava spiglia da benzina.
32:29Dopo mi sono dimenticato.
32:30All'inizio ho cambiato.
32:32Poi dopo ho detto.
32:33Cosa cazzo cagli?
32:34E' cambiata questa.
32:39Come va Org?
32:40Io non avevo proprio grip all'inizio.
32:41Mamma mia, l'inizio era ghiaccio.
32:42Potremmo stare pelle, sai?
32:44Senti po', ma la prendete là quella dentro.
32:46Qua, qua.
32:46Qua, qua.
32:47No, non lo butto dentro.
32:48Prendila.
32:49No, io metto la faccia dentro.
32:50Mettila.
32:51Vai.
32:55Guarda il barman.
32:56Sì, sì.
32:57Vuole un drink?
33:01Ostia.
33:04Mamma mia, tostissima la quattro.
33:09Mazzava, benissimo.
33:10Fermo, fermo, fermo.
33:11Sì, non aveva grip all'inizio.
33:13Anche qua poi inizia a arrivare.
33:16Mi si è attaccata alla spallina sulla pedana.
33:20Guarda, guarda, guarda.
33:22Sì.
33:22Mi ha tirato la spallina.
33:24Tac, tac.
33:25La prendete dentro.
33:27Eh, sì, sì, è bravo a far quello.
33:28Guarda, guarda, guarda.
33:30Ah, è questo Dio.
33:31Sì, sì.
33:32Mi dà una qualcosa, però guarda.
33:33È la cosa della carena, secondo me.
33:35Ah, può essere.
33:36Un nuovo kit.
33:39Oh, oddio.
33:40Oh, marino.
33:41Uno pari.
33:42Uno pari.
33:43Anche a arrivare un altro fatto.
33:44Ma lì l'asfalto.
33:45Si sta tagliando.
33:45Si sta spaccando tutto.
33:47Ma poi c'era l'acqua all'ultimo curo.
33:49Due estrici.
33:50Ma perché?
33:50Ma anche ieri.
33:52Quella di ieri.
33:52Io il giro di ricognizione.
33:54È un grande tiro.
33:54Ho visto, ho detto, ma che cazzo è?
33:56Grande, grande.
33:56Grande pezzo.
33:58Questo non c'è la parola, Sandino.
33:59Non c'è che c'è.
34:01Vamos.
34:03Grande Matteo.

34:24Vanno a giocare di giallo?
34:25Si, è giallo di giallo.
34:26Si, è giallo di giallo di giallo.
34:28Jorge Marti ha fatto il primo messeco del weekend.
34:31Almost destroying our ice bucket.
34:33A very welcome, cool treat for our top three here in scorching hot conditions in Brazil.
34:42From Burram to Brazil.
34:44From South East Asia to South America.
34:47It is Marco Betsechi who is standing tall and proud on the top step of the podium here once again.
34:55Can't quite believe what's happening right now, can they, in the Factory Aprilia team?
35:01You have to enjoy these special moments and they certainly are.
35:06For so, so long the Italian kings in MotoGP have been Ducati.
35:10But is there being a shifting in the balance of power in MotoGP right now?
35:16Certainly at the moment Aprilia are in such a sweet spot with a one and two in the Grand Prix.
35:23One and two in the World Championship.
35:25Fabi Gian Antonio who's just taken his face out of that ice bowl back in the green room before the
35:31podium.
35:33And now the sweet taste of third place for him, second for Jorge Marti.
35:38His best result of course and first Grand Prix podium in the colours of Aprilia.
35:43Aprilia who are flying their flag high as the dominant force right now at the start of 2026 in MotoGP.
35:51With Marco Betsechi extending his extraordinary run.
35:57Four consecutive Grand Prix wins.
36:00101 Grand Prix laps led without reply.
36:04Catch us if you can.
36:08The winning Constructor Prize which of course once again goes to the boys from Noale.
36:16The hard-working men and women of Aprilia have built a monster in 2026.
36:25And it's Ducati's long-running dominance of MotoGP in both the riders and the Constructors' Championship.
36:32Coming under some genuine threat now.
36:35The vice-governor of Goyache, the region of which we're so delighted to have come for this first Brazilian Grand
36:42Prix in over two decades.
36:43Presents the trophy to Fabio Gian Antonio who of course ended last season with podium in Valencia.
36:49That's two of the last three then for him.
36:52Second place to Jorge Marti.
36:56A 33rd MotoGP podium.
36:59How sweet must this one feel though?
37:01After all the sacrifice, the rehabilitation, the recuperation of 2025.
37:06He's a genuine contender again in 2026.
37:12The Governor of Goyache is going to hand over yet another race-winning trophy.
37:17Number eight for Marco Metzeki in MotoGP.
37:21His winning streak goes on as pretty as winning streak goes on as Bez bounces to the top of the
37:27MotoGP World Championship.
37:29.
37:31Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
37:59Hey! Hey! Hey!
38:26Marco Betsechi and Aprile are getting very used to hearing the Italian national anthem ring out
38:32at the end of MotoGP races, aren't they, recently?
38:36As for the fourth Grand Prix in succession, it was simply the best, simply irresistible, isn't he, right now?
38:45The 27-year-old Italian who will leave South America and head north to the Circuit of the Americas in
38:51Austin, Texas for round three in 2026.
38:55Installed as the new World Championship leader and potentially maybe in some people's eyes installed as now a new MotoGP
39:03World Championship favourite.
39:05Long, long season ahead of us. Very, very early doors, but the signs incredibly positive, aren't they?
39:11If you're associated with Marco Betsechi and Aprile, work to do.
39:17Bit of homework going to be going on at Borgo Panagale, isn't there?
39:21After Ducati, about to see Aprile dominate a Grand Prix once again.
39:27That's going to be a very sweet gulp of Prosecco for Marco Betsechi and Aprile.
39:35He joins previous Goianya winners, Wayne Gardner, Eddie Lawson and Kevin Schwantz.
39:41What a quartet that is to be part of.
39:43Marco Betsechi joining three previous MotoGP World Champions as Goianya Grand Prix winners.
39:50And he did it in some style.
39:52He never looked back once he hit the front from the middle of that front row of the grid.
39:56And it is now over 100 laps since Marc Marquez had anybody in front of him in a Sunday Grand
40:05Prix.
40:06Hoy Martin enjoying the celebrations.
40:09His first Aprilia podium.
40:12Fabio de Gellantonio.
40:14He's got a smile, but he had a gritty teeth in that Grand Prix.
40:18Revealing to Jack in Park for him.
40:19Made a bit of damage to that troublesome left shoulder, of course,
40:22which caused him so many issues at the end of 2024.
40:26Let's hope that there's no lingering aftereffects of that one that he's going to carry for the next few Grand
40:30Prixs.
40:31But he really did have to dig deep, didn't he?
40:34For that first podium in 2026.
40:42A pretty victory set here in Goianya.
40:46Double celebrations here in South America as Hoy Martin betters his third in yesterday's Tissot Sprint.
40:54Second in the Grand Prix.
40:553.2 seconds he was behind Vesecki when the chequered flag was thrown.
41:01After the race distance was slashed from 31 laps to 23 laps.
41:07There you are now, the pictures.
41:09They're going to be lighting up social media all around the world.
41:13As we head next to what traditionally is a Marc Marquez stronghold.
41:17Can he return to be the king of Cota?
41:20Having crashed out of the lead there last year,
41:22we head from South America to North America
41:25for one of our most popular visits to the music capital of the world.
41:29Next week we'll see you in Austin, Texas.
41:32And Aprilia will want to get over there right now.
41:35All Aprilia in Goianya.
41:38Marco Mazzetti and Jorge Martin, one and two.
41:40Fabio Di Gianantonio winning the Ducati battle for third and fourth over Marc Marquez.
41:45Ayagura backing up Aprilia's incredible afternoon with fifth.
41:49Passing Alex Marquez on the final lap.
41:50Pedro Costa at seventh, losing the world championship lead as a result.
41:53Aldo Garzaka and Raul Fernandes, you top ten.
41:56Marini Morbidelli points for Diogo Moreira at home, also for Alex Rins.
42:00And Enea Bastianini, who passed Fabio Quattararo late on.
42:16So here's what it means for the world championship.
42:18Marco Mazzetti, 11 points ahead of his teammate, Jorge Martin.
42:22Pedro Costa drops two to third.
42:24Fabio Di Gianantonio and Marc Marquez, fourth and fifth.
42:27The reigning champion, 22 points off the lead.
42:30He does, though, jump ahead of the track out of Prudia's of Ayagura and Raul Fernandes today.
42:48Prudia lead the Constructors' Championship now by 17 points over Ducati.
42:52They are five clear of KTM, who drop to third.
43:09Team standings, Prudia, well, they've led 101 laps without reply.
43:12They have 101 points on the board in the team's championship.
43:15They are 39 clear of their compatriots from the satellite team, Trackhouse.
43:49Let's have some highlights, then.
43:51Aprilia will want to watch these for quite some time.
43:57This was the key moment, wasn't it?
43:58This was where the race was won for Marco Batechi.
44:01Blasting past Fabio Di Gianantonio off the line and never looking back.
44:07Fabio Quattararo, fortunately, was heading backwards after a four-start from fourth on the grid,
44:11losing places to the likes of Martín Acosta and the Cristini Ducatis.
44:17Pedro Acosta was on that soft rear tyre, trying to make some early inroads from his ninth place on the
44:22grid.
44:23An error from Di Gianantonio around turn one.
44:26Saw him lose what was, at that point, second place to Marc Marquez.
44:31Costa did briefly hold fourth, but he lost that to Jorge Martín.
44:35He was in the best position to pounce when Di Gianantonio and Marc Marquez locked horns.
44:44Pecco Bagnaio was struggling in the midfield, running in 11th place when he crashed at turn one.
44:57Another day that the Ducatilenovo team will look back on fondly.
45:00Grissini were making moves as Alex Marquez took what was sick place from Pedro Acosta at the end,
45:07both passed in the latter stages by Ayagura Zafridia.
45:11But the Dijia-Marquez battle was not settling down.
45:15Di Gianantonio holding P3.
45:19Well, Marc Marquez put a big move on him into turn six.
45:24The world champion looking to try and salvage a podium from a difficult afternoon.
45:31Fortunately for him, though, a mistake around turn 11 and 12.
45:34Saw him lose that third place back to Dijia.
45:37That was the decisive move in the battle for the final podium spot.
45:40First and second, though, those were well and truly locked off by the rampaging Aprilias.
45:45Jorge Martín in a second place that he will treasure for some time.
45:48His best result since he was crowned world champion late in 2024.
45:52But the Petzeki bandwagon rolls on to Austin with Marco as the world championship leader.
45:58It is four in a row for the Bears, who is simply the Bears in Brazil.
46:03It means...
46:06All right.
46:16Thanks for coming from'll...
46:19They thank you.
