Overview

  • Fermin Aldeguer led from lights to flag at Mandalika to win by nearly seven seconds, with Pedro Acosta second and Alex Marquez third after a multi‑rider fight for the podium.
  • Marc Marquez and polesitter Marco Bezzecchi collided on lap one, sending both out; Ducati said Marquez suffered a right collarbone injury and will undergo further tests in Madrid after initial checks suggested a break.
  • Bezzecchi had dominated Saturday with a lap‑record pole and a last‑lap sprint victory over Aldeguer, underscoring Aprilia’s pace before the grand prix incident.
  • Ducati secured the 2025 teams’ championship on Saturday despite a subdued weekend for its factory squad, including a sprint long‑lap penalty for Marquez and limited points.
  • Francesco Bagnaia’s struggles deepened with P16 in qualifying, last in the sprint and a Sunday crash, as scrutiny over Ducati’s handling of his Misano GP24 test and bike‑spec communication persisted.
