Race results from the 2025 Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang, round 20 of 22.
Alex Marquez celebrated his MotoGP world championship title runner-up achievement by winning the 2025 Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang. The Gresini Ducati rider passed Sprint winner Francesco Bagnaia on lap 2 and maintained his lead throughout the race. Bagnaia faded and lost second place to Pedro Acosta, who overcame KTM’s recent tyre issues. Bagnaia’s sudden exit from the race handed the final podium spot to Honda’s Joan Mir, his second podium of the season. Despite the challenging conditions, most riders opted to stick with the soft rear tire, with Michelin advising on careful management of tire wear. Marquez’s teammate, Fermin Aldeguer, crashed from seventh place, while other riders like Miguel Oliveira and Pol Espargaro were also unable to finish. The MotoGP season will conclude with races at Portimao and Valencia after a weekend off.
