2025 Valencia MotoGP reaction LIVE UPDATES

From Aprilia on Martin: 

Dear Media,

Aprilia Racing has decided to withdraw Jorge Martín from the race as a precaution. Thank you for your understanding.

Another good lap for Bezzecchi, keeps Fernandez at 0.8s.

Marquez holding on to third, but Acosta is all over him now.

Response from Bezzecchi that time, same 1:30.7 as Fernandez, but the gap is still only 0.7s.

Acosta under half-a-second behind Marquez now, and he's basically dropped Di Giannantonio.

0.7s now between the front two, very much time for Fernandez to get there and work out a way past Bezzecchi.

Less than 1s between Marquez and Acosta, too, Acosta now lapping faster than everyone bar Fernandez.

Looks like Jorge Martin has decided to call his race now. He suggested he might yesterday.

Fernandez a tenth faster that time and the gap is 0.9s over the line.

Marquez's pace has evaporated, only 1.3s now between him and Acosta, he cannot get back into the 1:30s.

Bezzecchi matches Fernandez that time, the gap stays at 1.1s.

Acosta's pace has picked up now and Di Giannantonio is going with him. Less than 2s now between Marquez in third and Acosta in fourth. Marquez back into the 1:31s now.

Fernandez with a first full lap of clear track in front of him and he was 0.2s faster than Bezzecchi that time. Gap is 1.1s and he's already over 0.5s ahead of Marquez.

Fernandez now up to second past Marquez at the final corner.

Further back, Miller has passed Aldeguer for sixth, Aldeguer now under pressure from Marini for seventh.

Bezzecchi has been able to open his gap up over Marquez, who is now much closer to Fernandez - 1s between the leading three now.

Acosta under pressure from Di Giannantonio and over 2.5s behind Fernandez. Aldeguer, Miller, and Marini not far behind either.

Just a correction from earlier, it's the left hand that seems to be Morbidelli's problem, not the right.

He also had some fairing damage after that crash with Espargaro on the grid.

Good lap that from Marquez, only a couple of tenths now behind Bezzecchi.

Ai Ogura has crashed at turn one. Never a slow one there but he seems physically okay, has been able to walk away.

Bagnaia has got back to the pits. Season over for him, which is probably the best news he's had in a while.

Top three now all in the 1:30s on lap 5, but Fernandez the fastest of them on a 1:30.0, Bezzecchi and Marquez on 1:30.1.

Acosta losing time to the top three.

Mir now P14 after the long lap. Marini is eighth behind Miller. Passing Miller would give Marini the P7 Honda needs for the concessions tier jump.

Bezzecchi leads by 0.3s after lap four, Fernandez another fastest lap of the race and into the 1:29s.

Acosta is up to fourth, but almost 2s off the lead now.

Joan Mir has served his long lap penalty for the crash with Marini yestrerday.

Bezzecchi continues to lead but Marquez is going with him.

Fernandez is now up to third past Di Giannantonio, who now has Acosta for company.

Fastest lap of the race for Fernandez as well.

Looks like a physical issue for Morbidelli, right hand.

Zarco has been given a long lap penalty for the turn four incident with Bagnaia, seemed to involve Ogura as well.

Morbidelli has pit after the first lap, he's out.
