Marco Bezzecchi described it as a strange and emotional moment to hear his name mentioned with some of the sport’s greatest riders following his standout performance at the United States Grand Prix.
Bezzecchi delivered a commanding victory at the Circuit of the Americas on Sunday, leading every lap to not only win the race but also write several records into MotoGP history.

That string of successes places Bezzecchi in elite company with riders such as Marc Marquez, Valentino Rossi, and other iconic figures who also recorded five straight top‑class wins. For Bezzecchi, hearing his name discussed alongside theirs felt almost unreal. “I’m speechless,” he said. “It’s pretty strange to hear my name close to these legends, like Vale, like Marc. It’s pressure, but it’s a privilege as well. I’m very proud to be here and to be able to do this.”
In addition to the winning streak, Bezzecchi also set a new mark for consecutive laps led in the premier class, surpassing a long‑standing record and extending it to 120 straight circuits led in races. This achievement was especially notable given that he started the event from the second row due to a penalty sustained in qualifying.
The victory also continued a strong start to Bezzecchi’s season, with his latest success adding to recent wins and helping him maintain momentum in the championship. As the paddock now turns toward the next rounds, Bezzecchi’s blend of speed and consistency positions him as one of the key figures to watch in the title fight.
