Overview
- Marco Bezzecchi converted pole into a sprint victory at Mandalika, overtaking rookie Fermin Aldeguer on the final lap after setting a 1:28.832 qualifying lap record.
- Aldeguer secured his first MotoGP front row and led much of the sprint on a year‑old GP24 before finishing second, with Trackhouse’s Raul Fernandez taking his first premier‑class podium in third.
- Marc Marquez qualified ninth, received a long‑lap penalty for contact with Yamaha’s Alex Rins on lap one, and recovered to finish seventh in the sprint.
- Francesco Bagnaia’s struggles continued with a Q1 exit to 16th on the grid and 14th as the last finisher in the sprint, against the backdrop of tension over Ducati’s secrecy about his Misano run on a 2024‑spec bike.
- Despite a low‑scoring sprint for its factory riders, Ducati was confirmed as the 2025 MotoGP teams’ world champion.
