Overview

• The Spaniard sealed the championship by finishing second to teammate Francesco Bagnaia at the Japanese Grand Prix, securing the crown with five races remaining.
• The victory marks his seventh premier‑class title, equaling Valentino Rossi and leaving him one shy of Giacomo Agostini.
• His 2025 campaign included 11 wins in 16 grands prix, eight poles, 10 sprint‑Sunday doubles, and only one race without a podium.
• It is his first championship with Ducati following a multi‑year recovery from injuries after the 2020 Jerez crash and a switch away from Honda via an initial stint with Gresini.
• Márquez said he felt “in peace” with himself after the race, credited his brother Àlex and his inner circle for the turnaround, and indicated he aims to contend again in 2026.
