ROUND 8 / JUNE 6-8, 2025
MOTORLAND ARAGON / ALCANIZ, SPAIN
ROAD RACE I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
P84
That spurred Alex Marquez
to get his head down. "When I
saw him spinning on the start,
I thought maybe he's in trouble,
he can be P8 or P9, and I can
escape," he said. But in reality,
Marc had cut inside Acosta on
the exit of turn one and was
past Morbidelli early in lap two.
The Gresini rider, Alex Mar
-
quez, had stretched a surprise
lead
to six-tenths of a second
on the second lap. But the
response of his elder sibling
was as swift as it was clinical.

SPRINT RACE
Saturday wasn't quite as easy
for the championship points
leader, Marc Marquez (Ducati
Lenovo Team), as anticipated.
First, Franco Morbidelli showed
surprising pole potential in Q2,
only to miss out in the final
sector. Alex Marquez was just
two-tenths of a second off. Then
Marc fluffed the start, spinning
off the line and allowing his
brother, Morbidelli, and, momen
-
tarily, Pedro Acosta through.
63 FRANCESCO BAGNAIA
12TH/3RD MOTOGP
"This podium finish is a very impor-
tant one for the morale as well as for
the whole team," Francesco Bagnaia
said after Sunday MotoGP. "We have
been working tirelessly in the last
three weekends to solve the issues,
but then for a reason or another we
just couldn't put everything together.
After yesterday's Sprint, in which I
didn't manage to get the front tire
to work, today we got off to a better
start, and the adjustment made dur-
ing warmup surely helped me a lot."
36 JOAN MIR
DNF/7TH MOTOGP
"I don't think I have ever felt like this
for a seventh place!" a seemingly
pleased Joan Mir said. "It shows the
situation we have been in, and I am
really hoping that this is a turning
point. We have to be happy with what
we have accomplished and where
we have come from. I was able to
understand even more where the
other riders and bikes are making the
difference on us. I gave everything,
used all the tools I had to battle with
these guys, and I am satisfied know-
ing I gave my maximum."
