Report MotoGP In the sprint race, Francesco Bagnaia finished first. Álex Márquez finished second, securing the runner-up spot in the standings. Fermín Aldeguer originally finished third but received a penalty due to illegal tyre pressures that dropped him to seventh, allowing Pedro Acosta to inherit third-place. Nevertheless, Aldeguer was able to secure enough points to become the 2025 MotoGP Rookie of the Year.

In the main race, Álex Márquez finished first, and Gresini Racing securing 2025 Best Independent Team.

Moto2 On lap 2, the race was stopped (red flag) due to an accident experienced by Joe Roberts.
