A race that gave a new winner, a crash for the pre-race favourite, and a first non-Ducati rider to finish on the podium and not incur a penalty later on meant the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix was one with almost as many disappointing performances as i﷽t had ouꦓtstanding ones.

Alex Marquez - 9.9

It was a perfect Sunday for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez, who made no mistakes – bar a꧒lmost cleaning out the whole front group at turn six on the first lap – in order to take a🌟dvantage of the blunder from the championship leader that left the door wide open for him to take his first Grand Prix victory since 2019.

A first premier class win is always special, but doing it at his home Grand Prix and after a huge crash in practice on Friday that cost him va🌊luable track time only added to the impression of this success that re-elevated Marquez to the status of championship leader.

It’s for that crash, though, and for missing the front row for the first time in 2025, that Marquez doesn’t get a full 10/10 for his Jerez weekend, but almost nothing he did on Sunday was anything short of exc🧸eptional – even the avoidance of contact in the aforementioned turn six moment was and impressive show of bike control and calm-mindedness.

Fabio Quartararo - 9.7

As excellent as Marquez was, the ride of the day was probably 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo’s. He took the early lead, held of Marquez for eight laps, and then did🦄n’t give Francesco Bagnaia a sniff after he lost the lead.

Like the victorious Marquez, Quartararo was exceptional on Sunday, and his pole position on Saturday was almost inco🐼mprehensible – only his crash in the Sprint was a mark against his weekend, but he was battling Marc Marquez for the 💮lead when it happened which was remarkable by itself.

Francesco Bagnaia - 7

Texas aside, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia’s season continues to lurch from frustration to frustration, and this time the Italian was thi𝓰rd again, but beaten by a satellite Ducati rider and a Yamaha.

He’s not crashed out of a race yet this year, which is a step🌞 over last year for Bagnaia, but his competitiveness is also lower.

The Jerez test willᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ be crucial for the rest of his season, to find more performance so that, if and when Marc Marquez makes another mistake, it is him that is able to capitalise on it.

Maverick Vinales - 8.5

Maverick Vinal♛es was once again KTM’s best rider, which was only marginally less 🅺surprising this time than in Qatar.

He was unable to pass Bagnaia late onꦐ for the same reasons Bagnaia could do nothing about Quartararo: Bagnaia made 🌼no mistakes, and proximity to the rider ahead equalled reduced performance because of the front tyre pressure.

But he was again much better than all of the KTMs and was ab♛le to comfort꧟ably beat Fabio Di Giannantonio.

Genuine ♐promise now for KTM, although they have been strong in Jerez previously.

Fabio Di Giannantonio - 6.5

Fabio Di Giannantonio was the worst of the Ducati riders all weekend, which meant sixth place on Saturday and then fift꧋h on Sunday. He didn’t crash, which was positive, but the performa🌞nce was underwhelming, if not awful, in general at Jerez.

Brad Binder - 7

Sixth for Brad Binder is his best result of the season, which says a lot about his 2025 to now. He got comfortably beaten b꧅y♕ Vinales again, but he was back in front of Pedro Acosta on Sunday in what was a solid ride from the South African.

Pedro Acosta - 6

The expectation for Acosta this season is that he should be the best KTM rider. This time he was the third-best, and was never on the level of Viꦏnales, which was disappointing, especially given he was on the podium in th📖e Jerez Sprint 2024.

Ai Ogura - 7

Ai Ogura was fairly anonymous in Jerez but despite the lack of flash – which has really been missing since Argentina – the Japanese rider was back in the top-10 in the race and was the best Aprilia (partly thank𒁏s to an early mistake by Marco Bezzecchi).

Another solid race from the reigning Moto2 World Champion, although therꦑe does seem to h♒ave been a lack of progression across the opening five rounds.

Enea Bastianini - 6.5

Enea Bastianini finishing in the top-10 was positively surprising in Thailand, but the struggle he had in passing Luca Marini for ninth in Jerez was – unfortunately for him – broadcast live on TV, and his issues in braking that have bee𓆏n present with the RC16 since Barcelona last year have clearly not been treated.

Luca Marini - 6.5

Luca Marini was the best Honda in 10th, but he was never as coꦗmpetitive as Joan Mir (who crashed again) in Jerez. The Italian remains a sure pilot for HRC, but the speed needs to improve.

Johann Zarco - 5

This was Johann Zarco🅘’s worst race of the season. He’s been better than Luca Marini in general this year, but he was simply beaten by his HRC stablemate in the Spanish GP. He was also out-qualified by Joan Mir,🤡 and 11th made for an underwhelming end to the weekend for the LCR Honda rider.

Marc Marquez - 3

He had the whole thing in-hand, but like in🏅 COTA Marc Marquez blew it – and he was beaten to pole by a Yamaha.

In the race, it was the kind of mistake that Bagnaia has been berated for in the past, but with Marquez there is a greater sense of conviction that, by the end of the se𝐆ason, these kinds of mistakes won’t make a difference in the outcome of the championship.

Alex Rins - 4

Alex Rins’ weekend💝 was probably conditioned by his FP2 crash on Saturday morning at turn four, which was undoubtedly a big one.

But on a weekend where his factory Yamaha teammate was on pole position and beating a factory Ducati to second in the G🦄rand Prix, the absence of Rins from the top-10 was even more notable than usual.

Aleix Espargaro - 6

Aleix Espargaro never turned up to be the best Honda rider and he never threatened to be. Results weren’t the objective, and he did all the laps, bar a technical problem in Q1 that cost him half the session, so solid enough for his first wildcard as an HRC ☂test rider.

Marco Bezzecchi - 6.5

Q2 for Marco Bezzecchi was positive, asꦬ was finishing eighth in the Sprint. But running on at turn one on the second lap destroyed his race. It’s difficult to say exactly what happened to Bezzecchi in that moment because the TV helicopter was focusing on the leaders and there are no on-boards available which caught it, but certainly it was a moment which wrote the rest of his race.

Raul Fernandez - 3

Raul Fernandez’s struggles continue. He remains off the pace, and was beaten by Bezzecchi on the same bike despite the Italian's aforementioned struggles. He was also ꦡnowhere near his rookie teammate.

Augusto Fernandez - 5

Augusto Fernandez continues to do a 🐎fine enough job replacing Miguel Oliveira, although there really hasn’t been any flash to note atᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ all so far.

Lorenzo Savadori - 5

Lorenzo Savadori i✃s in the same position as Aleix Espargaro, more or less, albe𒈔it in place of Jorge Martin rather than a wildcard. His job was to do the laps and he did them, but the crash in Q1 was clearly unnecessary.

Fermin Aldeguer - 6.5

Another mistake with a big opportunity on the table from Fermin Aldeguer, but the Spanish rider is continuing to make progress and he has seemin🎀gly asserted himself among the rest o꧟f the Ducati riders.

Franco Morbidelli - 5

Franco Morbidelli was solid again this weeﷺkend, but the fo🐽urth-best Ducati rider. A crash in turn 11 left him with a “significant cervical contusion,” per a statement from the VR46 team.

Joan Mir - 5.5

Crashes for Joan Mir are no different to last year. That he is now crashing from sixth rather than from 16th is either positive or negative depending on w☂hether you value the speed more than the points or vice versa.

Jack Miller - 5

Jack Miller suffered an electrical issue in the Grand Prix, but was 11th when he reti🍸red. He was unable to get into Q2 when Quartararo was able to put the M1 on pole positio✱n, which is representative of a difference in performance between the two that is significantly inflated compared to the standard that Miller had set in his opening races with Yamaha.

Somkiat Chantra - 2

Somkiat Chanꦉtra’s retirement from the Spanish Grand Prix was reportedly due to arm pump. It’s essentially a standard issue for rookies by now, and Jerez is a circuit to expose that more than most places. Still, Chantra was ahead of only Savadori and the hurting Alex ♐Rins in qualifying, and was actually 0.7 seconds behind Savadori in the Sprint.
