Marc Márquez Clinches 2025 MotoGP Crown at Motegi With Calculated P2

The Ducati rider capped a resurgent season after years of injuries by securing his seventh premier-class title with rounds remaining.

Overview

  • Francesco Bagnaia won the Japanese Grand Prix and the sprint, with Márquez taking second in both to lock in the points required.
  • The finish confirmed Márquez as a nine-time world champion and marked his first title with Ducati at Honda’s Motegi circuit.
  • Aprilia’s Jorge Martín crashed in the sprint and suffered a fractured right clavicle, and he will fly to Barcelona for surgery at Hospital Universitari Dexeus.
  • Àlex Márquez, the only remaining mathematical challenger, did not collect the points needed over the weekend to extend the title fight.
  • Márquez’s season has been emphatic, with reports citing 14 sprint victories, 11 Sunday wins and eight poles as he sealed the championship early.
