Overview

  • Alex Marquez won in Barcelona by 1.740 seconds after reclaiming the lead on lap 4 and edging away in the closing laps.
  • Marc Marquez’s run of 15 consecutive race wins, including seven straight grands prix, ended as he finished second.
  • The standings now show Marc on 487 points to Alex’s 305, a 182‑point gap that removes any Misano title-clinch scenario.
  • Enea Bastianini completed the podium for Tech3 KTM, while Pedro Acosta’s soft-rear tyre choice faded late and left him fourth as most rivals used Michelin’s recommended medium rear.
  • Attrition and penalties shaped the order, with early incidents for Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio, DNFs for Johann Zarco and Brad Binder, and a strong recovery from 21st to seventh by Francesco Bagnaia.
