Marco Bezzecchi has leapfrogged into third place in the riders’ standings following Portimao MotoGP victory.
The win was crucial for Bezzecchi, reinforcing his grip on the final podium position in the championship and delivering Aprilia’s best-ever finish in the constructors’ standings, second place behind Ducati.
Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia, who encountered misfortune with a crash leading to a DNF in Portimao, has fallen to fourth place with 288 points.
Prior to this setback, Bagnaia was a strong contender for the top three but the 35-point deficit behind Bezzecchi now puts his position under threat.
With just 37 points available in the season’s final Valencia GP, the pressure is on to maintain his current spot in the riders’ standings, especially as KTM’s Pedro Acosta lies just three points behind him.
Fabio Di Giannantonio holds sixth place with a narrow 11-point advantage over VR46 teammate Franco Morbidelli, who unfortunately crashed out early in Portugal.
