Marquez secures victory in the Catalunya MotoGP Sprint while brother experiences an accident.

In a thrilling race at the MotoGP circuit, Marc Marquez emerged victorious, securing his 14th win in 15 sprint races this season. The victory also marked a significant milestone for Ducati, as they clinched the Constructors' World Championship title.

The race began with a surprise as Pedro Acosta on a KTM leapt into second place in the first lap, closely followed by Marquez who overtook Acosta at the start of the second lap. Fabio Quartararo, riding for Yamaha, maintained a steady pace and found himself in third position.

However, the race took an unexpected turn when Alex Marquez, Marc's brother, seemed untouchable until crashing with four laps remaining in the race. This unfortunate incident allowed Marc Marquez to take the lead and ultimately win the race. Alex Marquez picked himself up off the gravel in frustration after crashing.

Quartararo finished second, 1.299s behind Marc Marquez, expressing his happiness about the result despite the difficulty of the race. Marc Marquez, too, expressed his joy over the victory and Ducati's championship win.

Meanwhile, Francesco Bagnaia, another Ducati rider, started in 21st on the grid and managed to finish 14th, despite this being his worst qualifying performance since 2022. Fabio Di Giannantonio finished third in the sprint race.

Last year's champion, Jorge Martin, crashed out of the race in a collision with Franco Morbidelli in lap seven.

The 2025 MotoGP Constructors' World Championship title was a hard-fought battle between various teams, but Ducati riders, primarily Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martรญn, contributed significantly to Ducati's victory. While the individual rider final rankings 1-3 for Ducati are not explicitly listed, Ducati secured the constructor title with these key riders considered the main Ducati riders.

Marc Marquez believes that despite his crash, Alex Marquez is still the favorite for the next race due to his faster pace. As the season continues, the MotoGP championship promises to deliver more exciting races and fierce competition.
