Marc Marquez Wins Sixth Consecutive MotoGP Sprint at French Grand Prix

At the French Grand Prix sprint race in Le Mans, Ducati's Marc Marquez made history by becoming the first MotoGP rider to win six consecutive sprint races, reclaiming the championship lead from his brother Alex Marquez. Marc Marquez maintained an undefeated record in 2025 sprint events by overtaking pole-sitter Fabio Quartararo mid-race and pulling away to win by over half a second. Alex Marquez finished second for the sixth straight sprint, while rookie Fermin Aldeguer earned his first MotoGP sprint podium by finishing third, completing a Ducati 1-2-3 podium and demonstrating the brand's dominance. Despite leading for much of the race, home favorite Fabio Quartararo on a Yamaha was unable to sustain his pace against the powerful Ducatis. The race dynamics were influenced by a crash from Pecco Bagnaia, which opened opportunities for the Marquez brothers to consolidate their positions. Marc's string of sprint victories surpassed Jorge Martin's previous record of five consecutive wins, highlighting his formidable presence in the sprint format this season.
