Marco Bezzecchi

Mahindra Racing (2016)

In the 2016 season, Bezzecchi again competed in two races, retiring in Austria and finishing 24th at the British Grand Prix. On January 21, 2016, Bezzecchi officially joined the VR46 Riders Academy, an Italian training program for young riders founded in 2013 by Valentino Rossi.

CIP (2017)

Bezzecchi competed full time in the 2017 Moto3 World Championship, riding for Mahindra CIP, teammate of Manuel Pagliani. Bezzecchi had a slow rookie season, up until the race in Japan; he finished in 14th once, and 15th twice for a total of four points, but in the Motegi race, he managed a third place, his maiden podium in Moto3. He ended the season with 20 points and 23rd in the championship standings, second among the rookies that year.

Redox PrüstelGP (2018)

For the 2018 season, Bezzecchi would switch teams and ride for Prüstel GP. He won races in Argentina, Austria, and Japan, finished second five times, once in third. He collected two pole positions, ending the season with nine podiums and 214 points, third in the overall championship standings.

Red Bull KTM Tech3 (2019)

Partnering Philipp Öttl at Red Bull KTM Tech3 for the 2019 Moto2 World Championship, Bezzecchi had a difficult rookie season at Tech3, finishing in the points only four times. He ended his season with 17 points and 23rd in the championship standings.

Sky Racing Team VR46 (2020–2021)

For the 2020 Moto2 World Championship, Bezzecchi joined the newly formed Sky Racing Team VR46, alongside Luca Marini. The duo would have a successful season, winning the teams' championship by 113 points with five race wins between them; Marini had three wins, Bezzecchi two. Bezzecchi won at the Austria Grand Prix and the Valencia Grand Prix, finished second in Misano and Rimini, and finished third at Jerez, Le Mans, and the second Valencia race. He ended his season with seven podiums and 184 points, coming in fourth in the championship standings.

Following Luca Marini moving up to MotoGP, Bezzecchi's teammate for the 2021 season was Celestino Vietti. Bezzecchi often finished in the top five, winning a race in Austria, finishing second in Jerez and Silverstone, and third in Le Mans, Mugello, Germany, and Austin. He finished the year third in the rider's championship with 214 points.

Mooney VR46 Racing Team (2022–2024)

For the 2022 season, Bezzecchi was confirmed to be moving up to the premier class, partnering his 2020 teammate at Mooney VR46 Racing Team, Luca Marini. He picked up his first podium finish in MotoGP at the Dutch TT. Later in the season, he took his maiden MotoGP pole position at the Thailand Grand Prix.

In 2023, Bezzecchi achieved his first MotoGP win at the Argentine Republic Grand Prix in rainy conditions, and thus seized the championship lead for the first time in the premier class. His win in Argentina was notably the maiden win for the VR46 Racing Team. Bezzecchi went on to win the 1000th MotoGP Grand Prix at the French Grand Prix. A third win came in India, completing the season in third place.

Aprilia Racing (2025–)

On 24 June 2024, it was announced that Bezzecchi would join Aprilia Racing for 2025/2026 alongside Jorge Martín, who Bezzecchi fought with for the 2018 Moto3 Championship. Despite facing stability issues from his adjustment to the Aprilia in the beginning of the 2025 season, Bezzecchi won the British Grand Prix after starting from 11th on the grid; this was his first win in over 600 days (since the 2023 Indian Grand Prix). Bezzecchi performed well in the leadup to the summer break, with two second-place finishes in Assen and Brno, only missing out on three successive podiums due to a crash at the German Grand Prix in between the Dutch and Czech rounds. Bezzecchi finished the first half of the season in fourth, the highest-placed non-Ducati rider. Upon return from the summer break, Bezzecchi scored his first pole position with Aprilia at the Austrian Grand Prix on a track traditionally not suited to the strengths of the RS-GP, with fourth in the sprint and third in the feature race. Bezzecchi would go on to claim more pole positions at the San Marino, Indonesian, Portuguese and Valencian Grand Prix, the last two of which he would go on to win.

At the start of February 2026, Bezzecchi penned a two-year new contract to remain at Aprilia through the 2027 and 2028 seasons. Bezzecchi began the 2026 season by winning the first three grands prix in Thailand, Brazil, and the USA. By leading the U.S. Grand Prix, Bezzecchi broke Jorge Lorenzo's record for most consecutive laps led. In May 2026, he won the Italian motorcycle Grand Prix at the Mugello Circuit for the first time in his career, extending his current lead over teammate Jorge Martin to 17 points.

After crashing out during the Sprint Race at the 2026 Czech Republic motorcycle Grand Prix, Bezzecchi physically slapped a marshal who was attempting to pick up the bike. He was then excluded from the main race the following day.

On June 25, 2026, Aprilia Racing revealed that fellow VR46 Riders Academy member Francesco Bagnaia would be joining Bezzecchi at Aprilia for the 2027 season, with a four-year contract.
