Overview

  • Rookie Fermin Aldeguer delivered Gresini’s GP24 a breakout victory at Mandalika, pulling clear to win by nearly seven seconds for his first premier‑class triumph.
  • Pedro Acosta finished second and Alex Marquez took third after a multi‑rider fight for the final podium places over the closing laps.
  • Pole‑sitter Marco Bezzecchi, who set a new lap record of 1:28.832 and won the sprint with a last‑lap pass, crashed out on lap one after contact with Marquez.
  • Francesco Bagnaia’s struggles deepened as he trailed home last in the sprint before crashing out of the grand prix, though Ducati had already clinched the 2025 teams’ title.
  • VR46 boss Uccio Salucci confirmed Bagnaia sampled Franco Morbidelli’s 2024‑spec GP24 in the Misano test, with Ducati and Bagnaia declining to detail current bike spec under homologation constraints.
