The Estrella Galicia 0,0 Grand Prix of Brazil at Goiania's Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna brought the long-awaited return of Fermin Aldeguer to MotoGP action. BK8 Gresini Racing's second rider was back on his Ducati Desmosedici for the first time since his pre-season training injury.

Aldeguer's comeback was immediately impressive. Despite missing the opening rounds and having limited preparation time, the Spanish rookie slotted straight into the competitive midfield. He eventually claimed eighth position in the race — a result that delighted the entire BK8 Gresini Racing team.

Alex Marquez also had a competitive weekend in Brazil, working his way through the field aboard the factory Ducati GP26. He engaged in close racing with several championship rivals, demonstrating the kind of aggressive yet measured race craft that made him runner-up in 2025.

The Brazilian GP weekend also featured intense championship action throughout the field. Marco Bezzecchi stormed to victory to take the championship lead, with the battle for positions further back showing just how competitive the 2026 MotoGP field has become across all teams and manufacturers.

For BK8 Gresini Racing, having both riders back in action and scoring points in Brazil represented a crucial step forward in their 2026 championship campaign. With Aldeguer continuing to recover his fitness and confidence, the team's points-scoring potential increases significantly from this point in the season.

The Brazilian weekend confirmed that BK8 Gresini Racing has the tools and the talent to be competitive throughout the 2026 season. With Alex Marquez and Fermin Aldeguer now both contributing to the championship effort, the team looks forward to the upcoming rounds with renewed confidence.
