Italian rider Marco Pizzicchi won the final race of the MotoGP season in Valencia, capping off an impressive end to his season.
The 27-year-old Pizzicchi also took victory in the penultimate race in Portugal and became the first Aprilia rider to achieve two consecutive MotoGP World Championship victories.
His latest win came after a fifth-place finish in Saturday’s race secured him third place in the overall standings of the season – April’s first top-three finish.
“I had a lot of fun,” said Betske, who started from the front and beat Spanish Trackhouse rider Raul Fernandez to second place, while Italian Fabio Di Giannantonio came in third place on a Ducati bike.
“It’s been tough but I’m very happy with the work the team has done and I couldn’t have wished for a better way to end the season and now we definitely have to celebrate.”
Spaniard Marc Marquez, who clinched his seventh world title five races before the end of the championship in Japan last September, ended his season early last month after suffering a collarbone injury.
His brother Alex finished second overall in October and finished sixth in the Valencia Grand Prix, after winning the sprint race.
