2025 MotoGP World Championship
2025 Catalan Grand Prix
Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
Barcelona, Spain
Sunday, 7 September 2025
Gresini Racing's Alex Marquez will be targeting his first podium in four races at the
Catalan Grand Prix on Sunday, September 7.
The Spaniard is course for his best season in MotoGP after winning the Spanish Grand Prix and finishing second in the Thailand Grand Prix, the Argentine Grand Prix, the Grand Prix of the Americas, the Aragon Grand Prix, the Italian Grand Prix and the German Grand Prix.
Marquez trails his older brother, Marc, by 175 points in the riders' standings, although he's left the door open for Ducati Lenovo Team's Francesco Bagnaia to catch him in second place after picking up just eight points from his last three races.
The 29-year-old, who finished eighth overall in 2024, crashed out of the Czech Grand Prix on lap 2 after colliding with Honda's Joan Mir, while he could only manage P10 in the Austrian Grand Prix and P14 in the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Marquez still sees Bagnaia as his main rival for the runner-up spot in the world championship despite Aprilia Racing's Marco Bezzecchi and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Pedro Acosta making up ground on both the riders of late.
"At this moment Pecco [Bagnaia], because he's more close than Bezzecchi," Marquez said. "But Bezzecchi has been super fast from the beginning of the season, he was just missing the qualifying.
"And it's true that in the last races, he has been also quite fast in the qualifying. So it will be interesting to see how fast he can recover.
"But still I feel that Pecco is the opponent for second in the championship, but it will be interesting also to see Bezzecchi and Aprilia, how they develop."
2025 Hungarian Grand Prix results:
Winner: Marc Marquez - Ducati Lenovo Team
Second Place: Pedro Acosta - Red Bull KTM Factory Racing
Third Place: Marco Bezzecchi - Aprilia Racing
