Bezzecchi sets unusual MotoGP record, surpassing Spencer

Marco Bezzecchi claimed his 12th MotoGP victory in Qatar, and in doing so set a record that has never been matched before. All 12 of his premier-class wins have come on 12 different circuits, meaning he has not yet won the same race twice.

Bezzecchi's first MotoGP win came at Le Mans in 2023, and he also won in India that year. He did not win in 2024, before reaching his first victory on the Aprilia at Silverstone in 2025. He went on to win at Portimão and Valencia later that season. This year he started with a hat-trick in Thailand, Brazil and the United States, followed by home success at Mugello and wins in Indonesia and Qatar.

Freddie Spencer stopped at 11 wins on 11 different tracks, having won in 1982, 1983 and 1984, including his title-winning season. Bezzecchi could extend the record before the season ends, as the next two rounds are at Portimão and Valencia, both circuits where he has already won.
