The starting order for the 2025 San Marino MotoGP Sprint at the 16th round of the 2025 season.

Marco Bezzecchi starts from pole position thanks to a 1:30.134 set on his final lap of Q2.

Alex Marquez held provisional pole until that late Bezzecchi attempt but will start second.

Fabio Quartararo starts from the back of the front row after coming through Q1 to qualify third-fastest.

Marc Marquez had been fastest in Practice on Friday, but will start from the second row in fourth place alongside Franco Morbidelli and Luca Marini, who secured his best qualifying for Honda with sixth place.

Fabio Di Giannantonio heads up the third row in seventh place ahead of Francesco Bagnaia and Pedro Acosta, who crashed once again in Q2. Acosta was third when he crashed, but will start ninth for his third row-three start in the past four races.

Row four will feature Fermin Aldeguer and Jorge Martin. It should also feature Joan Mir, but the Honda HRC Castrol rider is sitting out Saturday after crashing in Practice on Friday afternoon. 

Mir's absence means everyone who qualifying 13th back will move up one position, so Miguel Oliveira inherits the final spot on the fourth row in 12th.

The full grid, which also includes Augusto Fernandez on the V4 Yamaha YZR-M1, for the 2025 San Marino MotoGP Sprint is below.
