Aprilia Racing Makes MotoGP History With Le Mans Podium Sweep

There are race wins… and then there are weekends that completely rewrite the history books.

At the legendary MotoGP French Grand Prix at the iconic Bugatti Circuit, Aprilia Racing delivered one of the biggest statements the MotoGP paddock has seen in years — locking out the entire podium for the very first time in the premier class.

It was a day of redemption, momentum, and outright domination.

Leading the charge was Jorge Martín, who carved his way through the field from seventh on the grid to take a stunning victory aboard the RS-GP. Even more impressive? It marked Martín’s first win with Aprilia and his first MotoGP victory in 588 days, dating back to Mandalika in 2024.

And he didn’t just scrape through for the win.

Martín looked reborn.

After already taking victory in the sprint race, the Spaniard completed a perfect Le Mans weekend with the Sunday win — matching his 2024 Le Mans success and proving that the Martín-Aprilia partnership is rapidly becoming one of the hottest combinations in MotoGP.

Behind him, Marco Bezzecchi delivered another calm, calculated ride to finish second and complete a factory Aprilia one-two finish. The result also marks Bezzecchi’s fifth consecutive podium of the season — a streak not achieved in MotoGP since Valentino Rossi managed the feat back in 2015.

Then came the icing on the cake.

Trackhouse MotoGP rider Ai Ogura crossed the line in third, sealing a historic all-Aprilia podium lockout. Three Aprilias. Three riders. One unforgettable day.

For a manufacturer that spent years clawing its way back toward the front of MotoGP, this felt like a genuine turning point.

The numbers tell the story:

• Aprilia’s first-ever MotoGP podium sweep
• Fourth premier-class one-two finish for the factory team
• Seventh consecutive MotoGP podium
• 306 world championship race wins across all classes

But beyond the stats, this was about belief.

The RS-GP now looks like a genuine title-contending weapon every weekend, and the confidence inside the Aprilia camp appears stronger than ever.

Martín admitted after the race that he didn’t even think victory was possible at the start, but his confidence in the bike continues to grow. Bezzecchi, meanwhile, once again showed maturity and consistency under pressure — traits that are turning him into one of the most dependable riders on the grid.

And for Ogura, the podium was a huge bounce-back moment after a difficult outing in Austin earlier this season.

The emotion inside the Aprilia garage was obvious.

This wasn’t just another race win.

This was a manufacturer announcing to the world that it has officially arrived.
