Overview

  • Marco Bezzecchi set a 1:30.134 lap for pole and converted his home form into the Sprint win ahead of Alex Marquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio.
  • Marc Marquez crashed from the Sprint lead to end his Saturday win streak, then led Sunday warm‑up by 0.037 seconds from Bezzecchi after setting a Friday practice lap record.
  • Fabio Quartararo advanced from Q1 to qualify third, fell in the Sprint, and returned fourth‑fastest in warm‑up.
  • Joan Mir skipped qualifying and the Sprint due to neck pain from a Friday crash, rejoined for warm‑up, and is slated to start 12th if he takes the Grand Prix start.
