Marco Bezzecchi won the final race of the MotoGP season in Valencia, capping a fine end to his campaign.
Bezzecchi, 27, also claimed victory in the penultimate race in Portugal and became the first Aprilla rider to seal back-to-back MotoGP wins.
His latest victory followed a fifth-placed finish in Saturday’s sprint, which secured him third place in the overall season standings – a first top-three finish for Aprilla.
Spaniard Marc Marquez, who clinched his seventh world title with five events to spare in Japan in September, ended his season early last month after suffering a collarbone injury.
His brother Alex sealed second place overall in October and finished sixth in the Valencia Grand Prix, after winning the sprint race.
