Alex Marquez Ends Marc’s Streak With Catalan GP Win in Family 1-2

The result trims Marc Marquez’s championship cushion to 182 points, pushing his first title chance to the Japanese Grand Prix.

Overview

  • Alex Marquez beat his brother by 1.7 seconds after reclaiming the lead on lap 4 and controlling the pace to the finish.
  • The victory followed his Sprint crash from the lead at Turn 10, and he marked Sunday’s redemption by stopping there to raise a double middle finger on the cool‑down lap.
  • Marc Marquez said Alex exploited his weaknesses in Barcelona’s long right-handers and chose not to go “all in” despite pressure to continue his run.
  • Enea Bastianini completed the podium after passing Pedro Acosta, whose soft rear tyre faded late in the race.
  • It was Alex’s second grand prix win of 2025 and it delays Marc’s first title match point until Japan with seven rounds remaining.
