Malaysian GP in Sepang circuit has just ended. Alex Márquez from Gresini Bk8 Racing was crowned the winner after a fantastic performance. And yes, he is the new King of Sepang.

Bagnaia pre-race domination

After the Australian GP ended last weekend, the MotoGP series moved on to the Sepang circuit in Malaysia. Few riders are ruled out due to injuries, including this year’s champion Marc Márquez and Jorge Martin. This leaves the door open for Alex Márquez, Francesco Bagnaia, and Marco Bezzecchi, who still competing for the final standings.

In qualifying sessions, it was Francesco Bagnaia who actually dominated. The two-time MotoGP Champion managed to take pole position and also won the sprint sessions. Unfortunately, Bagnaia didn’t have the same good luck in the Sunday race, as he went DNF.

”Bagnaia’s failure in Sunday’s race put the number one spot on the podium in jeopardy. I mean, Sepang has always delivers surprises, right?”

Alex third Grand Prix win

Alex Marquez, who currently sits second place in the championship standings, grabbed this golden chance to extend his total points. The Gresini BK8 Racing rider finished first with a two-second gap ahead of fellow Spanish-men Pedro Acosta. His victory in Malaysian GP also clinches second place on the championship standings.

The sweet victory in Malaysian GP was Alex’s third Grand Prix win of the 2025 season. Before that, he managed to win the Spanish GP and the Catalonia GP a few months ago. The 29-year-old rider has delivered his career best in the standings with Gresini Racing since joining the team in 2023.
