Nevertheless, we have given the race schedule, circuit info, and a preview of the upcoming United States GP.

Riders and Their Status So Far

The MotoGP United States Grand Prix is ready to present the asphalt for the roaring MotoGP riders. Marc Marquez is far from his previous season’s form, finishing 4th at the Brazilian GP after a poor previous race. Meanwhile, Marco Bezzecchi is making a slow and steady comeback, winning two grand prix races back-to-back. Jorge Martin, on the other hand, is recovering from his setbacks. But still, he says that he has lost some of his prime ability. The previous season was truly a test of time for the Aprilia rider. Besides, the fan-favorite Italian, Francesco Bagnaia, is still finding his form after a not-so-laudable 2025 season. Overall, the riders are ready to face the MotoGP United States Grand Prix, expecting high-speed cornering and overtakes.  

Brazilian GP: An Overview

It was a phenomenal weekend for the Aprilia team as both riders got first and second spots, respectively. The Ayrton Senna Autodrome sparked an electrifying race that propelled the leading riders to pursue P1. Marco Bezzecchi got the 1^st position finish for the second time this season. He won despite starting behind Fabio Di Giannantonio on the grid. Following that, Jorge Martin finished second, earning more points for Aprilia. Simultaneously, Marc Marquez’s quest for P1 was so intense, but he missed the podium by 4.089 seconds behind Fabio Di Giannantonio. Marc was clearly ahead of Jorge Martin and Giannantonio, but he lost his position on the successive laps. Despite getting the pole position, Giannantonio failed to sustain his edge in the race. Fabio Di Giannantonio started from the pole position, but he left his spot to Bezzecchi even before a turn. Ultimately, Marco Bezzecchi won the Brazilian GP.
