Italy\u2019s Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia won the Brazil MotoGP Grand Prix on Sunday at the Autodromo Ayrton Senna in Goiania.<\/strong><\/p>\n Bezzecchi also won the season\u2019s opening GP in Thailand three weeks ago and repeated the feat here by finishing ahead of his Spanish team-mate Jorge Martin and Italian pole-sitter Fabio Di Giannantonio of Ducati.<\/p>\n \u201cHonestly, I didn\u2019t expect to leave Brazil with a win,\u201d Bezzecchi said, adding he was \u201csuper happy\u201d with his performance, especially following Friday\u2019s poor practice showing in which he was 20th fastest on the grid.<\/p>\n \u201cWe worked super hard in the box with my guys to try to adjust everything, including my riding the bike \u2014 we tried to make the perfect combination,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n It was a milestone moment for the 27-year-old as it marked the first time in his career he had won four Grands Prix in a row, and was also the first time an Aprilia rider had done so.<\/p>\n Aprilia\u2019s one-two in Brazil also means they lead the constructors championship with 64 points.<\/p>\n Spanish reigning world champion Marc Marquez of Ducati, who had won Saturday\u2019s sprint race on the Brazilian circuit, had to settle for fourth place.<\/p>\n His compatriot Pedro Acosta (KTM), who had arrived in Brazil at the top of the championship standings, lost his lead to Bezzecchi after finishing seventh on Sunday.<\/p>\n Bezzecchi now boasts 56 points, 11 more than Martin in second, with Acosta a further three points adrift.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery day I\u2019m closer to the top guys,\u201d Martin said, but he nonetheless insisted his chances for a title run over the 22-race season were very slim \u201cat the moment\u201d.<\/p>\n The race was shortened from 31 to 23 laps due to the extreme heat, which was causing severe tyre degradation and raising safety concerns for the riders.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
