Alex Marquez’s 2025 MotoGP season ended with a tough Valencia Grand Prix
Gresini’s Alex Marquez was disappointed to see his chances of competing for victory in the MotoGP Valencia Grand Prix fade away due to rear tyre issues early into the 2025 finale. Despite taking a surprising sprint win on Saturday in Valencia, he struggled to keep up with Marco Bezzecchi’s pace. The two riders, Bezzecchi and Marquez, led the race ahead of the pack but Marquez’s pace decreased as he encountered grip problems on his rear tyre after the initial five laps. Ultimately, he finished in sixth place, with his teammate Fermin Aldeguer passing him on the final lap at the last corner. Marquez mentioned they tried a different set-up in the warm-up, but it didn’t feel right, so they stuck with the same bike as the day before. Despite the disappointing result, Marquez saw it as a learning opportunity for the team, preferable to have such issues now and work on solutions before the next season.
