Marc Marquez Dominates Qatar GP with Third Win of the Season

Marc Marquez was in a league of his own on Sunday night, delivering a clinical performance at the Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Qatar 2025 to bag his third MotoGP win of the season. The Spanish superstar clocked in at 41 minutes and 29.186 seconds, leaving the rest of the grid struggling to keep up.

Riding for Ducati, Marquez took control in the second half of the race at the Lusail International Circuit, breezing past his competitors with confidence and consistency.

A Podium Shuffled in the Heat

Maverick Viñales of Red Bull KTM Tech3 showed flashes of brilliance mid-race, briefly leading the pack, but couldn’t hold off Marquez’s charge. Still, his second-place finish (+1.800s) marks his best performance since joining the team.

Francesco Bagnaia, who came into the weekend as a title frontrunner, had a nightmare qualifying session but made an impressive comeback to grab the final podium spot (+4.535s) for Ducati.

Early Leaders Fade, Surprise Finishers Shine

Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) had the early momentum, setting the pace in the opening laps. But as the race wore on, tyre degradation got the best of him. The Italian eventually settled for a solid fourth-place finish.

Johann Zarco (LCR Honda) also made waves, pushing hard in the final stages to clinch his first top-five finish of the 2025 MotoGP season. He finished just behind Morbidelli, showcasing steady progress.

The BK8 Gresini Racing Team had both riders in the top ten: Fermin Aldeguer finished sixth, ahead of teammate Alex Marquez, whose streak of second-place finishes came to a halt as he crossed the line in seventh.

Fabio Quartararo gave Yamaha fans hope after a front-row start, but couldn’t keep up with the leading pack and dropped down to eighth. Pedro Acosta managed to grab ninth for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, giving the team at least one top-10 result.

Rounding out the top ten was Marco Bezzecchi, the best-placed Aprilia rider, who finished 14.368 seconds behind Marquez.
