Motegi Sprint Race: New 2025 MotoGP World Championship standings
New 2025 MotoGP World Championship standings after Saturday's Sprint race at Motegi, Japan, round 17 of 22.
Marc Marquez is on the verge of winning the 2025 MotoGP title after a second-place finish, behind team-mate Francesco Bagnaia, in the Japanese Sprint race was combined with a non-score for brother Alex Marquez.
Marc needs a title lead of at least 185 points over Alex to win the world championship on Sunday afternoon, meaning the Gresini rider must now beat Marc by at least seven points to keep the title alive.
Meanwhile, third overall Bagnaia has extended his advantage over Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi to 20-points after the Aprilia rider was taken out by his own team-mate, Jorge Martin, at Turn 1 of the Sprint.
