Any further requirements for Aprilia? Because it seems to this podcast host, that Aprilia has truly arrived and they are a problem.
Dre and Cam review the 2026 MotoGP US GP, and it was another banner day for the Aprilia factory. Jorge Martin took advantage of a Pecco Bagnaia rear tyre vibration to win the Sprint on the final lap of the race, giving Martin the World Championship lead for a day, his first for nearly a year and a half. But behind, Marc Marquez took out Fabio Di Giannatonio and Marco Bezzecchi crashes out in a Sprint for the second time this season.
Bez then took revenge in the Grand Prix to take his fifth GP in a row, only the third rider of the modern age to do so, the only rider ever to lead every single lap in a five-race winning streak, and pushed the record for consecutive laps lead to a whopping 121. Is Aprilia officially now the best bike in MotoGP?
And what’s up with Marc Marquez? A weekend where nothing really went right with him – A 115mph crash in practice, a take out in the Sprint, and a GP where he had to come back from 11th to get back in the picture. Is that shoulder injury worse than we ever let on? And what is a 100% Marc Marquez at this point? Is Jerez a crucial Championship flashpoint? All that and more on a new Motorsport101!
