Full MotoGP Jerez 2025 Race Results – Alex Marquez wins Spanish GP marking his first-ever premier class victory in a race marked by high tension, strategic battles, and a headline-making Marc Marquez crash.
The Grand Prix not only shifted the momentum in the championship but also showcased the evolving competitive landscape of MotoGP, with established stars and emerging talents battling for supremacy on one of the sport’s most iconic circuits.
The anticipation for Sunday’s race was palpable following a weekend that had already seen Marc Marquez extend his perfect Sprint race record with a fifth consecutive win on Saturday.
The Sprint had set the tone for what was expected to be another duel between the Marquez brothers with Marc taking the Sprint victory ahead of Alex and Francesco Bagnaia rounding out the top three.
As the lights went out for the Spanish MotoGP 2025 race, Fabio Quartararo made the most of his pole position, leading the field into Turn 1. Bagnaia managed to leapfrog Marc Marquez for second while Alex Marquez slotted in behind, narrowly avoiding contact with his brother on the back straight.
The opening laps were frenetic with Bagnaia and the elder Marquez engaging in a tense shoulder-to-shoulder battle through the stadium section, neither willing to cede an inch.
The race’s pivotal moment came on lap four as Marc Marquez crashed out of contention after losing the front of his GP25 at Turn 8 while running third.
The six-time MotoGP World Champion was able to remount and rejoin the race, but the incident left him 22 seconds adrift of the leaders and effectively ended his chances of victory.
Despite riding a damaged bike Marc’s determination was evident as he set some of the fastest laps on track, ultimately recovering to finish 12th, a result that would have significant implications for the championship standings.
With Marc out of the picture, the focus shifted to Alex Marquez, Quartararo and Bagnaia. Alex, riding the BK8 Gresini Ducati GP24, demonstrated both patience and aggression as he first dispatched Bagnaia for second place and then set his sights on Quartararo.
The decisive move came on lap 11 when Alex outbraked Quartararo at Turn 1 to seize the lead. From that point on, a guaranteed Alex Marquez win was undeniable as he controlled the pace at the front, gradually edging away from the chasing pack while managing his tyres.
Quartararo desperate to deliver a result for Yamaha after a long podium drought held firm in second place, fending off sustained pressure from Bagnaia. The Italian, riding the factory Ducati GP25, was unable to find a way past the Frenchman and had to settle for third, just over two seconds behind the winner.
Maverick Viñales, representing Red Bull KTM Tech3, continued his impressive form with a strong fourth-place finish, narrowly missing out on the podium after a spirited ride.
Further down the order Fabio Di Giannantonio delivered another solid performance for the Pertamina VR46 Ducati team, finishing fifth. Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta both on KTM machinery crossed the line in sixth and seventh, respectively, underlining KTM’s growing competitiveness at Jerez.
Rookie Ai Ogura impressed with an eighth-place finish for Trackhouse Aprilia, showing maturity beyond his years as he mixed it with the established stars.
Enea Bastianini still finding his feet with the Red Bull KTM Tech3 squad secured ninth while Luca Marini gave Honda a much-needed top-ten result in tenth. Castrol Honda LCR’s Johann Zarco brought his RC213V home in 11th, just ahead of the recovering Marc Marquez.

Monster Yamaha’s Alex Rins finished 13th while Marco Bezzecchi who had shown flashes of speed earlier in the weekend faded to 14th on the Aprilia Racing RS-GP25.
Raul Fernandez and Augusto Fernandez rounded out the points for Trackhouse Aprilia and Pramac Yamaha, respectively. Aleix Espargaro, making his Honda debut as a wild-card entry, initially finished 14th but was demoted to 17th after receiving a 16-second penalty for low tyre pressure.
Lorenzo Savadori, standing in for the injured Jorge Martin at Aprilia, completed the classified finishers in 18th.
The attrition rate at the Spanish MotoGP 2025 was high with several notable names failing to see the chequered flag. Fermin Aldeguer, Franco Morbidelli, Joan Mir, Jack Miller and Somkiat Chantra all registered DNFs, each falling victim to the unforgiving demands of the Jerez circuit.
The reasons ranged from crashes to technical issues, underscoring the fine margins that define success and failure in modern MotoGP.
Alex Marquez win was not only a personal milestone but also a historic one for Spanish motorcycling. His win marked the 200th premier-class victory for Spain and extended Ducati’s remarkable run to 22 consecutive wins, equaling Honda’s all-time record set in the late 1980s.
