M🐷arc Marquez has retaken th𝄹e lead in the 2025 MotoGP standings after dominating the Qatar Grand Prix sprint, as Ducati team-mate Pecco Bagnaia struggled to eighth.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez felt like his pole lap in qualifying earlier on Saturday was a “surprise” as he expected 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia to be faster than him this weekend.

But, aside from a brief swapping of places with Gresꦛini’s Alex Marquez, Marc Marquez was in total control of the 11-lap sprint at Lusail.

He took the cheque♒red flag over 1.5s clear of Alex Marquez to retake the championship lead by two points, while Franco Morbidelli completed the podi꧋um for VR46 Ducati.

Having come into Saturday looking strong, Bagnaia’s charge has come right off the 🍌rails, with a crash in Q2 leavi✨ng him 11th on the grid.

And from t🌊here, Bagnaia had no pace on his factory Ducati in the sprint, with the double world champion only able to get to eighth at the chequered flag - 10.334s ꧂off the win.

Bagnaia has now slid 21 points beh♌ind Marc Marquez in the championship going into Sunday’s 22-lap grand prix.

From pole, Marc Ma🦹rquez grabbed the holeshot from Alex Marqꦍuez and third-place starter Fabio Quartararo on the factory Yamaha.

Bagnaia behind made small progress to ninth on the opening ♌lap, but quickly found himself dumped out of t🌺he points and was even passed by returning reigning champion Jorge Martin at one point.

Alex🌟 Marquez launched a raid on the lead on the run into Turn 1 at the start🌱 of lap two, throwing his Gresini Ducati up the inside of Marc Marquez - though ultimately having to concede the place immediately.

That pr♊oved to be the only time Marc Marquez didn’t lead the sprint, with the factory Ducati rider beginning to stretch away on the fifth tour.

By the start of lap six, the lead had stretched to around 0.7s, with Marc Marquez eventually getting his lead up to over 1.5s through to t💦he chequered𝄹 flag.

Alex Marquez was comfortably second to maintain his 100% runner-up spot record in 2025, while VR4ꦯ6’s Morbidel💝li took the last podium place.

Morbidelli moved ahead of Quartararo 🍌fꦡor third at the start of lap two, though the Yamaha rider rallied late on and put his former team-mate under pressure.

The pa♐ir also had Gresini rookie Fermin Aldeguer to contend with on the final lap.

Morbidelli held third on the way into the last corner, while a mistake on the brakes for Quartararo forc🍸ed him out wide and dropped him to fifth behind Aldeguer.

Fabio Di Giannantonio completed the top six on the sister VR46 Ducati, while Tra🐻ckhouse rookie Ai Ogura fought through to seventh on his Aprilia.

Bagnaia recovered to a distant⛦ eighth, while Marco Bezzecchi took the final point in ninth for the factory Aprilia team.

This came at the expense of KTM pair Maverick Vinales and Pedro Acosta, whoseඣ soft tyre choice saw theꩲm fade right out of the points come the chequered flag.

Jorge Martin ran just outside of the top 10 in the early stages 🔜of his first race start since last November, but ultimately dropped to 16th on the sister factory Aprilia.

LCR𝓡 Honda’s Johann Zarco was the only retirement, as he pulled out on lap nine 🐷with rear tyre problems.

Factory Honda rider Joan Mir didn’t take the stไart due to illness. His physical ☂condition will be assessed on Sunday before a decision is made on his participation in the grand prix.
