MotoGP Rookie of the Year Fermin Aldeguer suffered a bruising end to a strong Malaysian GP weekend.
Fermin Aldeguer’s Malaysian MotoGP weekend came to a painful end after a heavy fall from seventh place on the Gresini Ducati. Despite clinching the Rookie of the Year title, Aldeguer’s hopes for a podium were dashed due to a post-race penalty. Following a strong performance, he crashed in the closing stages, resulting in a DNF.
Aldeguer’s recent struggles, including a technical issue in Australia, have limited his points to just five since his Mandalika victory. Although disappointed, he acknowledged the learning experience from the race weekend. The Spanish rider chose to focus on recuperation after the crash.
Despite Aldeguer’s misfortune, team-mate Alex Marquez’s victory secured the Independent teams’ title for Gresini in 2025. Marquez expressed satisfaction with their performance and looked forward to the remaining races. Aldeguer is narrowly holding eighth place in the championship, just four points ahead of Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo.
