Jerez Preview: Can Anyone Stop the #72?

 







Lately, Marco Bezzecchi is making winning look easy. With a flawless hat trick of victories in Thailand, Brazil, and the USA, the #72 has treated the early-season standings like his own personal victory lap. Next stop: Jerez. Will the win streak continue in Spain, or can anyone actually disrupt the rhythm of Bez?




The "Global Takeover" in Three Acts:
  • Thailand: To open the season in Buriram, Bezzecchi converted a dominant pole position into a Sunday masterclass. Every lap was led by him, crossing the finish line with a 5.5-second cushion over Pedro Acosta, setting the tone for a flawless start to the season.
  • Brazil: In a treacherous race in Goiânia that was shortened due to track degradation concerns, Bez pulled an ambush at the first corner. He kept his cool on a track that felt more like a gravel pit than a circuit, bringing home back-to-back wins from second on the grid.
  • USA: At COTA - the most technical track they face - Bezzecchi proved he could win anywhere. He muscled his way into an early lead after starting 4th, and fended off a late charge to keep his 2026 record perfectly spotless.


The championship is way tighter than you'd think, despite Bez winning every single Sunday so far. His Aprilia teammate, Jorge Martín, has been on his heels with back-to-back 2nd place finishes in Brazil and the USA. Heading into Spain, Bezzecchi is only up 4 points (81 to 77). He's collecting the trophies, but Martín is collecting points. A single slip-up in Jerez could flip the script.
