Marc Marquez Wins Spanish GP Sprint Race; Fabio Quartararo Injured

Marc Marquez extended his dominant form in MotoGP with victories in both the Spanish Grand Prix sprint race and the Qatar GP, further solidifying his lead in the championship standings. In Spain, Marquez capitalized on a crash by polesitter Fabio Quartararo and led a Ducati 1-3 finish, with his brother Alex Marquez consistently finishing near the top. Alex also made history by breaking into the 1'35s range during Friday practice at Jerez, while Marc led Saturday's practice session. At the Qatar GP, Marc overcame early battles, including a close encounter with Alex, and ultimately overtook Maverick Viñales and Franco Morbidelli to secure another win for Ducati. Francesco Bagnaia showed resilience by climbing from 11th on the grid to third place in Qatar, while Alex Marquez faced setbacks but remains Marc's closest competitor in the points standings. The Marquez brothers, alongside strong showings from Bagnaia and Viñales, have shaped the early narrative of the 2025 MotoGP season.
