Malaysia: New 2025 MotoGP World Championship standings
New 2025 MotoGP World Championship standings after Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang, round 20 of 22.
After wrapping up the 2025 title runner-up position - behind absent brother Marc Marquez - on Saturday at Sepang, Alex Marquez took victory in the Malaysian MotoGP.
But there was drama behind when Francesco Bagnaia retired from third late in the race, putting Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi back up to third in the world championship - despite a disappointing weekend.
Bezzecchi is now five points clear of Bagnaia with two rounds to go, but KTM's Pedro Acosta is also a threat after an excellent runner-up finish on Sunday.
Acosta is 26 points behind Bagnaia, with a maximum of 74 points up for grabs.
Meanwhile, Franco Morbidelli grabbed the advantage back over VR46 team-mate Fabio di Giannantonio for sixth.
