BK8 GRESINI Racing MotoGP rider Alex Marquez has confirmed his status as the overall runner-up of this season’s MotoGP championship after finishing second in the sprint race in the Malaysia Grand Prix (GP) 2025 at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) yesterday. The younger brother of 2025 MotoGP champion Marc Marquez claimed nine points from the podium finish, taking his total to 388 points despite two rounds remaining, the Portugal GP and Valencia GP. Meanwhile, the battle for third overall has changed hands, with Ducati Lenovo Team rider Francesco Bagnaia (286 points) overtaking Aprilia Racing’s Marco Bezzecchi (285 points). Alex admitted he did not expect to achieve such a significant result, espe cially with his brother Marc still recover ing from a shoulder injury that forced him to end his season early. “History with Marc who is at home. So really happy and now we need to enjoy. We have three races in front of us to enjoy, to try things next year for sure but especially to celebrate,” he told reporters after the sprint race. Earlier, the 10-lap sprint race was won by Bagnaia in 19 minutes 53.725 seconds, followed by Marquez (19:55.984s) and his teammate Fermin Aldeguer (19:56.863s) in third. Bagnaia, who is also the defending champion at the Sepang circuit, expressed his delight after a difficult run, having failed to finish in the recent Indonesia and Australia GPs. “Last week we struggled a lot. Even yesterday I still had a little bit of trouble but today I was more competitive.

Starting this year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will Alex seals second Moto GP position behind brother Marc after sprint race win

I tried some thing different this weekend, and the change gave me more confidence and a better feeling when riding,” he said. The main MotoGP Malaysia race will take place today. Meanwhile in Moto3, young Malaysian rider Muhammad Hakim Danish Ramli’s desire to start on the front row was not met after finishing Qualifying Session 2 (Q2) in 14th place. The 18-year-old rider was competing on a wildcard ticket for the Aeon Credit SIC Racing team which had previously achieved sixth position in Free Practice Session 2 (FP2) with a time of 2:10.576s but recorded a slower time of 2:11.487s.

Muhammad Hakim Danish admitted that he made a few mistakes and almost crashed during the qualifying session, but is still determined to give his best in today’s race even though he admits it is more challenging than the JuniorGP and Red Bull Rookies Cup. “In the qualifying session earlier, I made a few mistakes and almost crashed but I was able to handle it well. I am try ing to improve my position and time. “Tomorrow’s race will definitely be difficult but I will still try,” he told reporters after yesterday’s qualifying session. – Bernama
