19-rider starting grid for the 2025 Indonesian MotoGP Sprint after injuries
The full starting grid for the 2025 Indonesian MotoGP Sprint race, after Maverick Vinales joins the injury list.
The 2025 Indonesian MotoGP, the 18th round of the season, will see Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi start from pole.
Bezzecchi, the dominant force in practice, set a new lap record to keep his rivals at bay by almost 0.4s in Q2.
Behind him, rookie Fermin Aldeguer did an impressive job to claim second on the grid, his best MotoGP qualifying, despite having to switch to his spare Gresini Ducati and a front tyre that had done 18 laps!
With Bezzecchi’s team-mate Jorge Martin and Trackhouse rider Ai Ogura ruled out through injury, Raul Fernandez put the only other RS-GP onto the front row in third.
Row two will feature Alex Rins as top Yamaha, Pedro Acosta as leading KTM, and Luca Marini leading the Honda challenge.
Aldeguer aside, Ducati’s poor weekend continued with Alex Marquez next best in seventh and newly crowned world champion Marc Marquez a season-worst ninth.
Factory team-mate Francesco Bagnaia didn’t even advance past Qualifying 1 and is only 16th on the grid.
The grid features no penalties, but Tech3’s Maverick Vinales withdrew after qualifying due to ongoing issues with his healing shoulder.
That means there will be just 19 riders on the grid for this afternoon’s Sprint, which starts at 3pm local time.
