Alex Márquez Makes History with Maiden MotoGP Victory in Jerez

Alex Márquez Makes History with Maiden MotoGP Victory in Jerez

Marc Marquez crashed out of the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix, but his brother Alex secured his first MotoGP win, together on the podium with Quartararo and Pecco.

Alex Márquez claimed a dream victory at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, securing his first-ever MotoGP win in front of a home crowd and taking the championship lead from his brother, six-time world champion Marc Márquez. The Gresini Ducati rider’s triumph marked Ducati’s 22nd consecutive premier-class victory, equaling Honda’s all-time record set between 1997 and 1998, while also becoming Spain’s 200th win in the top category.

Starting from fourth on the grid, Márquez delivered a composed yet aggressive performance, first overtaking reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo) before outbraking pole-sitter Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) for the lead on Lap 11. From there, he steadily built a gap to take the checkered flag in dominant fashion.

“If they had ask me where I would have wanted my first MotoGP race win to take place, the answer would have been “Jerez”. We managed to do it and we were aware that it was possible already from Friday. I trusted the team and when I saw Marc crashing I thought it was my best chance of the season. It was fantastic, now we try to skip tomorrow’s test,” Márquez said. 

With his victory, Alex Márquez now leads the standings by 1 point over his brother as the championship heads to the historic Le Mans circuit in France.

Quartararo Holds On for Podium, Bagnaia Completes Top Three

Fabio Quartararo, who started from pole, secured his first podium since 2023 with a hard-fought second place, fending off late pressure from Bagnaia. The Frenchman’s strong showing marked a resurgence for Yamaha, which has struggled in recent seasons.

Bagnaia, meanwhile, narrowly held off a charging Maverick Viñales (Tech3 KTM) to secure third, keeping himself firmly in the title hunt.

Marc Márquez’s Dramatic Recovery After Early Crash

The race took a dramatic turn early on when Marc Márquez, who had been battling for the podium, crashed on Lap 4. Rejoining in last place, the elder Márquez mounted a stunning recovery ride, setting multiple fastest laps on a damaged bike to climb back to 12th by the finish.

KTM Shows Strength, Espargaro’s Honda Wildcard Debut

KTM continued to impress with Viñales in fourth and Brad Binder in sixth, while rookie Pedro Acosta finished seventh. Aleix Espargaro, making his wildcard debut for Honda, finished 14th but faces a post-race investigation for low tire pressure.

The MotoGP paddock now heads to Le Mans for the French Grand Prix, where Alex Márquez will look to extend his championship lead—and perhaps silence any remaining doubters.
