2025 MotoGP World Championship

The season began without defending champion Jorge Martín, who injured his wrist in a pre-season testing crash.^[2] He made his debut with Aprilia at the Qatar Grand Prix, but he suffered fractured ribs and a pneumothorax as result of a lap 14 crash and subsequently being struck by another rider's motorcycle,^[3] which left him out of the season indefinitely. He returned for the Czech Grand Prix.^[4]

The first ten rounds of the season began with strong results for brothers Marc and Álex Márquez, who shared the top two podium positions in each of the first ten sprint races. Marc Márquez took six of the Grand Prix wins (Thailand, Argentina, Qatar, Aragon, Italy, and Netherlands) and two further podiums.^{[5][6][7][8][9][10]} He completed perfect weekends (pole, sprint win, Grand Prix win, and fastest lap) in Thailand, Argentina, Qatar, and Aragon. Alex Márquez took the Grand Prix victory in Spain with seven second-place finished in previous sprints and races.^[11] Francesco Bagnaia won the Americas Grand Prix with four third-place finished in previous sprints and races.^[12] Johann Zarco (France) and Marco Bezzechi (United Kingdom) also took one Grand Prix victory each. Zarco's dominant finish in rainy conditions at his home Grand Prix marked the first for a Frenchman in over 70 years and Honda's first victory since April 2023, and snapped Ducati's win streak at 22 — tied with the record previously set by Honda itself.^[13][14] Bezzechi's victory marked Aprilia's first in over a year, since the 2024 Grand Prix of the Americas.^[15]

Marc Márquez continued his dominance at the eleventh round in Germany with his fifth perfect weekend of the season. The Grand Prix victory marked his 69th premier class win, surpassing Giacomo Agostini for second position on the all-time list, behind Valentino Rossi.^[16] At the halfway point of the season, he led the riders' championship with 344 points, ahead of Alex Márquez (261 points) and Francesco Bagnaia (197 points).^[17]

With the series returning to the Brno Circuit for the first time since 2020, Marc Márquez continued his streak of sprint and Grand Prix wins at five, setting a new record for Ducati riders.^[18] In Austria, Marco Bezzecchi started from pole position for the first time in the season, but Márquez continued his chain of sprint and Grand Prix victories to six, his first ever at the Spielberg track.^[19] The championship returned to Hungary for the first time since 1992, where Márquez further extended his winning streak to seven with his sixth perfect weekend of the season. Defending champion Jorge Martín finished the Grand Prix in fourth, his best result since returning from injury with Aprilia.^[20] At Catalunya, Marc Márquez inherited the sprint victory from brother Álex, who crashed on the third-to-last lap after leading the race from pole position. With both Aprilia factory riders crashing out of the sprint, the Ducati victory sealed their sixth consecutive constructor's championship since 2020.^[21] In the main race, Álex Márquez triumphed at his home race, ahead of brother Marc and Tech3 KTM's Enea Bastianni, ending his brother's unbeaten streak which had extended back to the Aragon sprint on 7 June.^[22] In San Marino, Marc Márquez crashed from the lead of the sprint race, allowing pole sitter Marco Bezzecchi to snap his record streak of sprint victories at eight.^[23] Both riders battled for the lead in the main race, with Márquez ultimately emerging victorious.^[24]

In Japan, Francesco Bagnaia returned to form with his first perfect weekend of the season, starting from pole to win his first sprint and his second Grand Prix of the season. Finishing runner-up in both sessions was sufficient for Marc Márquez to be crowned the 2025 champion, his seventh of the premier class and ninth overall, equalling Valentino Rossi.^[25][26]

In Indonesia, Marco Bezzecchi came back from a poor start to claim his second sprint win of the season.^[27] Bezzecchi would collide with Marc Márquez in the main race, causing an injured shoulder for the latter. Fermín Aldeguer dominated proceedings to win his first race in the premier class and became the second youngest rider to do so after Márquez himself.^[28] In Australia, Raúl Fernández became the seventh different winner of the season with his maiden MotoGP victory at the Phillip Island circuit, also securing a first-ever triumph for Trackhouse Racing in the premier class.^[29] After sitting out the Australian round, Márquez announced on 23 October that he would sit out the remainder of the season to focus on his injury recovery for 2026.^[30] The Malaysian Grand Prix was a big weekend for Gresini Racing, as they clinched the independent team of the year title, with Álex Márquez securing runner-up in the championship with his third victory of the season, and Fermín Aldeguer clinching Rookie of the year award.^[31] Marc and Álex Márquez marked a historic first for Grand Prix motorcycle racing, with a pair of brothers finishing 1–2 in the championship.^[32] At the final two rounds of the season in Portugal and Valencia, Álex Márquez won both sprint races, while Marco Bezzecchi was victorious in both main Grands Prix.^{[33][34][35][36]}
