Márquez reveals a surprising truth directly related to the Bezzecchi champion when Ducati’s pilot thinks that April is the cause of crazy chaos in the GP of Great Britain!
The Grand Britain of MotoGP of 2025 in Silverstone was a race that will be recorded in the memory of the fans for years, not only for their dramatic turns, but also for its explosive sequel. In an amazing revelation after the race, the leader of the championship, Marc Márquez, of the Ducati Lenovo team, unleashed the controversy by attributing the chaotic events of the race to Aprilia and his star pilot, Marco Bezzecchi, who won a surprising victory. Márquez’s statements have shocked MotoGP paddock, causing debates about team strategies, pilots’s decisions and the unpredictable nature of this sport.
Great Britain’s Grand Prix was a roller coaster from the beginning. The race began with great drama, since a collision between Franco Morbidelli and Aleix Espargaró left oil on the track, which caused a red flag. The brothers Márquez, Marc and Alex, crashed while led before the stop, and the Poleman Fabio Quartaro suffered a heartbreaking technical failure later in the race. In the midst of chaos, Marco Bezzecchi took advantage of his bold soft tire strategy to ensure the first Victoria of Aprilia in the season, ending more than four seconds ahead of Johann Zarco (LCR Honda), while Marc Márquez saved third place after a fierce battle with Morbidelli. The victory marked Bezzecchi’s first triumph from the 2023 Indian Grand Prix and the first of April from the 2024 Americas Grand Prix.
However, it was Márquez’s comments after the race that monopolized the headlines. The six -time MotoGP champion suggested that the aggressive strategy of Aprilia and Bezzecchi’s opportunist pilot played a fundamental role in the chaotic development of the race. “Everyone saw what happened out there,” Márquez said at a press conference, with a measured but direct tone. “The commitment of Aprilia for soft tires, especially Bezzecchi, fueled things. It forced others to strive more than well, and that was when mistakes were made. The accidents, the red flag … Everything became a snowball from there.” Márquez’s comments have generated controversy, especially taking into account their own accident at the beginning of the race, which attributed to unpredictable conditions, aggravated by the bold pneumatic elections of Aprilia.
Bezzecchi, however, quickly defended his strategy and the approach of Aprilia. “We risk the soft front tire and it was worth it,” said the Italian. “This is MotoGP; sometimes you have to take a risk. I don’t think we have caused any chaos; we simply made our career.” Bezzecchi’s victory was a masterful lesson for tire management, since it maintained a constant rhythm while others faltered. His victory was especially significant for Aprilia, a team that dealt with an internal crisis after reports that his other factory pilot, Jorge Martín, seeks to terminate his contract due to a complicated start of the 2025 season marked by injuries.
The race itself was a high show. At the initial exit, Alex Márquez took the lead, but fell into curve 1, followed by Marc Márquez’s accident in curve 10. The red flag, caused by the liquid of the Ducati of Morbidelli, allowed both brothers to restart the race, an unusual second chance in MotoGP. Quartararo, who also opted for the soft front tire, dominated the 19 -laps restarted race, achieving an imposing advantage of more than four seconds before a failure in the rear height regulator forced him to retire on the lap 12. The emotional scene of Quartararo returning to the box between tears contrasted markedly with the joy of Bezzecchi when he crossed the line.
The accusation of Márquez has fueled a dynamic already tense between him and Bezzecchi, a relationship deteriorated by a previous collision in the Valencia Grand of 2023, where Bezzecchi described Márquez as the “most dirty pilot” of MotoGP. The story between the two, added to Bezzecchi’s links with the Vr46 Academy of Valentino Rossi – a group with its own historical rivalry with Márquez – has only done the controversy. Some in the Paddock speculate that Márquez’s comments could be a strategy to divert the attention of his own accident and support in the rally while expanding his advantage in the championship, now 24 points about Alex Márquez and 72 about Francesco Bagnaia, who fell into the race.
Aprilia, meanwhile, delights with the victory of Bezzecchi, which executive director Massimo Rivola described as a turning point for the team. The triumph comes at a crucial moment, with doubts about Martin’s future and the technical development of the team. For Bezzecchi, victory claims its decision to join Aprilia in 2025 after a difficult 2024 season with VR46. “Aprilia believed in me, and I believed in them,” said Bezzecchi, highlighting the mutual trust that led him to his triumph in Silverstone.
With MotoGP to Motorland Aragon for the next round, the repercussions of Márquez’s comments will undoubtedly persist. The Paddock Bulle with speculations about whether their statements will intensify tensions with April and Bezzecchi or if they will simply go to the background in a fiercely competitive season. One thing is safe: Great Britain prize of 2025 has added a new chapter to the rich drama tapestry, rivalries and unforgettable moments of MotoGP.
