Alex Marquez Wins Spanish MotoGP Again as Brother Marc Crashes Out

Alex Marquez claimed his second straight Jerez win as Marc Marquez crashed on lap two, and Ducati’s factory team extended its podium drought to nine races.

  • On Sunday, Alex Marquez won the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez for the second consecutive year, marking his 250th Grand Prix start as pole-sitter Marc Marquez crashed out on the second lap.
  • Starting fifth, Alex Marquez quickly overtook his elder brother to take the lead; shortly after, the reigning champion lost control at turn 11, ending his quest for a milestone 100th Grand Prix win.
  • Championship leader Marco Bezzecchi finished second for Aprilia after failing to reel in Alex Marquez over 25 laps, while VR46 Racing's Fabio Di Giannantonio completed the podium to rise to third in the overall standings.
  • Marc Marquez now trails Bezzecchi by 44 points in the championship hunt; "Sometimes you crash," Marc said, accepting his crash at turn 11 could have been his own fault despite possible wind involvement.
  • Despite his current lead, Bezzecchi remains cautious about his title prospects, stating, "I'm not riding well enough to fight for the title," as he leads teammate Jorge Martin by 11 points.
