Overview
- The win was Bezzecchi’s second grand prix victory of 2025 and Aprilia’s third of the year, converted from pole in a lights-to-flag run.
- Alex Marquez finished second with Pedro Acosta third, while Fermin Aldeguer took fourth ahead of Brad Binder and Fabio Quartararo.
- Francesco Bagnaia crashed from fourth on lap 11 and now trails Bezzecchi by 35 points with 37 still available at Valencia.
- Turn 5 incidents defined the race as Franco Morbidelli retired on lap one, Enea Bastianini suffered damage and rejoined laps down, and Aldeguer’s aggressive Turn 5 pass on Binder drew no stewards’ action.
- Honda’s difficult outing included Joan Mir’s technical retirement, leaving its concessions status unresolved until the finale, as debutant Nicolo Bulega scored a point in 15th.
