Aprilia breaks MotoGP top speed record

Aprilia’s speed bid dominates MotoGP discourse as Mugello delivers the weekend’s fastest speeds. Jorge Martin crashed through the 368.6 km/h barrier along Mugello’s main straight during Saturday’s Free Practice 2, eclipsing KTM’s 366.1 km/h record set at previous Italian GPs by Brad Binder and Pol Espargaró. Marco Bezzecchi followed by matching the mark in the afternoon sprint, contributing to a high-profile Aprilia performance as the session concluded with a strong pace. Bezzecchi’s effort helped Aprilia to a sprint result described as a 1-2 for the factory, with Trackhouse’s Raul Fernandez reportedly heading Martin at the line.
