2025 Portuguese MotoGP, Portimao - Race Results
Race results from the 2025 Portuguese MotoGP at Portimao, round 21 of 22.
Marco Bezzecchi dominates the 2025 Portimao MotoGP for his second grand prix victory of the season.
Alex Marquez and Pedro Acosta again joined the Italian on the podium. But while they had battled to the line in the Sprint, the Aprilia rider was out of reach on Sunday.
Marco Bezzecchi repulsed Acosta at Turn 1, while Marquez - who clinched a narrow Saturday win over Acosta and Bezzecchi - passed the KTM rider a lap later.
Pedro Acosta’s victory challenge faded - but Alex Marquez also surprisingly dropped away from Bezzecchi by the halfway stage, then came under late pressure from the RC16.
With Francesco Bagnaia crashing out of fourth place, Bezzecchi now has one hand on third place in the world championship heading into the season finale.
Fermin Aldeguer sent some of Brad Binder’s aero flying as he charged forwards from eleventh to take over fourth. Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo held off Ai Ogura and Fabio di Giannantonio for sixth.
Home star Miguel Oliveira was cheered on the grid before his final home MotoGP race, which concluded in 14th.
After crashing early in the Sprint, WorldSBK title runner-up Nicolo Bulega finished his first MotoGP weekend by scoring the final point in 15th.
Franco Morbidelli ran wide on the opening lap, then fell after a clash as he turned in moments later. Both Tech3 riders, plus Ogura, were caught up in the incident, with Enea Bastianini later making a pit stop.
Seventh on the opening lap, Joan Mir again retired with an early Honda technical issue.
After soft rears for the Sprint, riders moved to the medium rear for the grand prix, again paired with the hard front. The only exception was Alex Rins, on the medium front.
