Marc Marquez won a thrilling MotoGP Qatar Grand 💜Prix despite a lap one collision with Alex Marquez leaving his fa⛄ctory Ducati damaged.

Eight-time world champion Marc Marquez came into the Qatar weekend expecting to be under threat to Alex Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia, having pre🧸viously only won once at Lusail in his MotoGP career.

But the factory Ducati rider ꦦcompleted his third hat-trick of the season, as he stormed to pole, took vic🦩tory in the sprint and won the 22-lap grand prix on Sunday.

Marc Marquez had to fight hard for his third grand prix win of 2025, howe🧔ver, as Turn 1 contact with Alex Marquez left his Ducati with damage to the rear aero.

Having taken the holeshot from poleꦚ🐼, the contact between the two Marquez brothers allowed Franco Morbidelli on the VR46 Ducati to take the lead.

Marc Marquez would find himself at one stage behind Morbidelli and Ducati team-mate Bagnaia, while also ceding a p♋lace to Tech3 KTM’s Maverick Vinales.

But, having been managi🎃ng his tyres the whole time, Marquez eventually came through to retake the lead and take the chequered flag 1.8s clear of the field.

Provisionally, that was ahead of Vinales, who initially scored a first podium as a KTM rider and t♕he first fo🔜r the brand in 2025.

However he was given a 16-second time penalty post-race 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:for a tyre pressure infringement and drops to 14th.

Bagnaia completed the top three having come from 11th oওn the grid.

Marc Marquez grabbed first on the run into Turn 1 at the start of the 22-lap race ahead of Alex Marquez, though the latter made contact with him as the l𝔉in💟es closer at the first corner.

Morbidelli nipped through into the lead on the outside of🅷 the pair, with the VR46 rider leading for the opening 10 laps and moving over a second clear at one stage.

By lap two, Bagnaia had moved up to sixth and was quickly moving towards the podiu🍰m places.

At the start of lap four, Bagnaia found himself in third and would pass team-mate Marc Marquez for second int🐼o Turn 1 on the fifth tour.

Marquez quickly retaliated at the same place on l⛄ap seven, though the pair soon had problems coming from Vinales on the KTM.

Vinales snatched third from Bagnaia at the last corner on lap seven and overh🧸auled Marquez at the sta𒁃rt of lap 10, before taking the lead from Morbidelli on the next tour.

Leading the race until lap 16, Vinal𒅌es made a mistake at Turn 6 while trying to resist Marquez’s res🥂urgent pace and allowed the Ducati rider back in front.

From here, Marquez pulled the pin and got to the chequered flag 1.8s clear of Vinales to open up a championship lea🎃d of 17 points over Alex Marquez.

Bagnaia in the 🔯latterღ stages looked like he would take second from Vinales, but faded 2.775s adrift at the chequered flag. He is now 26 points off the championship lead.

Morbidelli defended fourth (which became third after Vinales' penalty) from a hard-charꦍging Johann Zarco on the LCR Honda, while Fermin Aldeguer was sixth on the first of the Gresini Ducatis.

Team-mate Alex Marquez was involved in a collisi𓄧on with VR46 Ducati’s Fabio Di Giannantonio on lap three at Turn 12 as the former was trying to retake third place having lost it the corner before.

Alex Marquez was given a long lap penalty for this, which dropped him to 12th. He rallied to seventh at the chequered flag, but his 100♏% podium streak in 2025 has been snapped.

Fabio Quartararo dropped off the front row to eighth on his factory Yamaha, while KTM’s Pedro Acosta and Aprilia’♚s Marco Bezzecchi completed the top 10.

Luca Marini was 11th for Honda, while Tech3’s Enea Bastianini, Yamaha’s Alex Rins, KTM’s Brad Binder and Tracღkhouse’s Ai Ogura took the final points.

🎶Di Giannantonio was 16th after his collision with Alex Marquez.

Reigning world champion Jorge Martin crashed heavily on lap 14 and was taken to the medical ce🦩ntre for checks. Crashes ruled Jack Miller and Augusto Fernandez out, while Joan Mir pull𒐪ed out of the race.
