VALENCIA: Alex Marquez claimed victory in the final sprint of the MotoGP season in Valencia on Saturday, his third such triumph of 2025.
The Ducati-Gresini rider, who has sealed second in the overall standings behind his champion brother Marc, beat out KTM&#8217;s Pedro Acosta by 1.149 seconds, while Fabio Di Giannantonio finished third.
Marquez started from second on the grid behind Marco Bezzecchi but took the lead at turn one.
The Italian sank behind Acosta, who zipped into second place at turn two, eventually finishing fifth.
However that was enough for Bezzecchi to wrap up third place in the championship under grey skies in Valencia and give Aprilia their first top-three finish.
Two-time MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia has struggled in recent weeks and dropped to fifth in the standings behind Acosta as he came in 14th in the sprint on his Ducati.
Jorge Martin, the championship winner in 2024, brought up the rear in 22nd as he made his comeback following a fractured collarbone in September.
Last year&#8217;s event in Valencia was cancelled because of the deadly flooding in the region.
