Bezzecchi wins the Brazilian Grand Prix, strings together four consecutive wins and takes the lead in MotoGP

Marco Bezzecchi is experiencing the best phase of his career. This Sunday (22), the Italian won the Brazilian Grand Prix, in Goiânia, and achieved his fourth consecutive victory in MotoGP — an unprecedented feat for him and also for Aprilia, which also secured a one-two finish in the stage, which had its number of laps reduced from 31 to 23 due to asphalt degradation at a specific point on the track.

The sequence puts Bezzecchi in a select group. He is the first rider to win four races in a row in the modern era after names like Valentino Rossi, Marc Márquez, Jorge Lorenzo and Francesco Bagnaia.

The Italian also took the lead in the world championship for riders, with 56 points. Jorge Martin jumped to second, with 45. As he finished seventh, Pedro now has 40.

The reunion between MotoGP and Brazil finally happened. This Sunday (March 22), the main category of motorcycle racing delighted Brazilians, who hadn't seen it since 2004. In total, almost 150,000 people attended the event over the weekend.

For Rafael, a 42-year-old businessman from Goiânia, the spectacle brought diversity to the city. He also said it was an honor to have this atmosphere in his city.

The MotoGP category hadn't been held in Brazil for 22 years, since a race was held at the Jacarepaguá Autodrome in Rio de Janeiro. In Goiânia, the waiting time was longer, since the last time the event was held in the city was in 1989.
