2025 Valencia MotoGP: Starting grid for the sprint after tight final qualifying
The full starting grid for the sprint at the 2025 MotoGP Valencia Grand Prix
Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi will lead the field from pole position on Saturday in the sprint at the 2025 MotoGP Valencia Grand Prix.
The factory Aprilia rider snatched top spot in the final qualifying of the 2025 campaign with a new lap record, beating Gresini’s Alex Marquez and VR46’s Fabio Di Giannantonio.
It marks his fifth pole of the 2025 campaign.
Bezzecchi will start on pole for both the sprint and the grand prix this weekend at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit.
The big news of qualifying was the technical issue for Pecco Bagnaia, which left the Ducati rider down in 16th for this weekend’s final two races.
He is 35 points back of Bezzecchi in the fight for third, while a three-point advantage over Pedro Acosta puts Bagnaia at risk of dropping to fifth in the standings.
Aprilia’s Jorge Martin will start 17th for his return, but will have to serve two long lap penalties in Sunday’s grand prix for a collision at the Japanese Grand Prix.
