Alex Marquez dominated the 2025 Valencia MotoGP Sprint Race to claim his third Sprint victory of the season.
KTM’s Pedro Acosta pushed relentlessly to keep pace with Marquez but had to ultimately settle for second despite a valiant effort.
Meanwhile, Fabio di Giannantonio made a noteworthy comeback in the final laps, fighting his way to take third marking his fifth Sprint podium of the season.
Trackhouse Aprilia’s Raul Fernandez finished a strong fourth, demonstrating consistency and competitive pace, while Aprilia stablemate and polesitter Marco Bezzecchi recovered to fifth after a troubled first lap that saw him drop back significantly.
Di Giannantonio’s VR46 teammate Franco Morbidelli followed in sixth, as Fabio Quartararo marked the first Yamaha in seventh despite starting from the second row.
KTM rider Brad Binder secured eighth position providing a strong showing for the factory team, while Ai Ogura and Johann Zarco rounded out the top ten.
