Season summary

The season began without defending champion Jorge Martín, who injured his wrist in a pre-season testing crash.^[1] He made his debut with Aprilia at the Qatar Grand Prix, but he suffered fractured ribs and a pneumothorax as result of a lap 14 crash and subsequently being struck by another rider's motorcycle,^[2] which left him out of the season indefinitely. He returned for the Czech Grand Prix.^[3]

The first ten rounds of the season began with strong results for brothers Marc and Álex Márquez, who shared the top two podium positions in each of the first ten sprint races. Marc Márquez took six of the Grand Prix wins (Thailand, Argentina, Qatar, Aragon, Italy and the Netherlands) and two further podiums.^{[4][5][6][7][8]} He completed perfect weekends (podium, sprint win, Grand Prix win and fastest lap) in Thailand, Argentina, Qatar and Aragon. Alex Márquez took the Grand Prix victory in Spain with five further second-place finishes.^[9] Francesco Bagnaia won the Americas Grand Prix with five more podiums.^[10] Johann Zarco (France) and Marco Bezzechi (United Kingdom) also took one Grand Prix victory each. Zarco's dominant finish in rainy conditions at his home Grand Prix marked the first for a Frenchman in over 70 years and Honda's first victory since April 2023, and snapped Ducati's win streak at 22 — tied with the record previously set by Honda itself.^[11][12] Bezzechi's victory marked Aprilia's first in over a year, since the 2024 Grand Prix of the Americas.^[13]

Marc Márquez continued his dominance at the eleventh round in Germany with his fifth perfect weekend of the season. The Grand Prix victory marked his 69th premier class win, surpassing Giacomo Agostini for second position on the all-time list, behind Valentino Rossi.^[14] At the halfway point of the season, he lead the riders' championship with 344 points, ahead of Alex Márquez (261 points) and Francesco Bagnaia (197 points).

With the series returning to the Brno Circuit for the first time since 2020, Marc Márquez continued his streak of sprint and Grand Prix wins at five, setting a new record for Ducati riders.^[15] In Austria, Marco Bezzecchi started from pole position for the first time in the season, but Márquez extended his streak of sprint and Grand Prix victories to six.

Marc Márquez (pictured in 2025) currently leads the championship.

Jorge Martín (pictured in 2023) is the defending world champion.
