ROUND 22 / NOVEMBER 14-16, 2025 RICARDO TORMO CIRCUIT / VALENCIA, SPAIN ROAD RACE I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P64 1 JORGE MARTIN 22ND/DNF MOTOGP Defending champ Jorge Martin ended the season pulling out of the race. "I think withdrawing from the race was the right decision because I'm rather tired, and I think it's smart to turn up fresh on Tuesday so we can do a good test, since we have several things to try," Martin said on Sun- day on his return from a season of injuries. "There was no point in tiring myself out now without achieving anything of substance." 20 FABIO QUARTARARO 7TH/DNF MOTOGP Fabio Quartararo's weekend ended in a crash after finishing seventh in Saturday's Sprint race. "The first four corners were a nightmare because I had an issue with the clutch," Quar- tararo said. "I didn't disengage the front device until turn four. I lost many positions, and my pace was not great. I was pushing a bit more at the end to see what my pace was with the used tire. I was catching Bastianini a bit. We were struggling to overtake, but I was still trying to be as close as pos- sible. I didn't do anything unusual, but I crashed. So, it was a race to forget."
