2025 Qatar MotoGP as it happened
Recao the 2025 MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix
Marc Marquez will start on pole for Sunday's 22-lap 2025 Mo🧸toGP Qatar Grand Prix.
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:factory Ducati rider came into the fourth round of the 2025 MotoGP season trailing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez by a single point in the standings, after crashing 🥀out of the lead of the Americas GP two weeks ago.

Alex Marquez will go from second on the grid and🔜 is looking to at least maintain his 100% runner-up spot record following his run to second in the sprint on Saturday.
Joining them on theജ front row is Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo, who was a fine fifth in the sprint.
Pecco Bagnaia has been left in 11th on the grid folꦅlowing a crash in qualifying, with the factory Ducati rider unable to get any higher than e♚ighth in a sprint where he struggle with the feeling of his bike on the smaller fuel load.
He is now 21 points back 🌊in the championship.

The 2025 Qatar GP begins at 6pm BST.
