Spanish Grand Prix: Marc Marquez continued his dream run in the 2025 MotoGP season, securing a fifth consecutive half-distance victory with a commanding performance at the Sprint Race in Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday.

Racing in front of a raucous home crowd at Jerez, the Ducati star shrugged off an early challenge from Yamaha’s surprise polesitter Fabio Quartararo to extend his lead in the championship standings.

The atmosphere was electric as Quartararo, who stunned the paddock with a blistering qualifying lap to deny Marquez a fifth straight pole, lined up alongside the Spaniard. But once the lights went out, it was Marquez who reacted first, surging ahead before Quartararo muscled back into the lead with a bold move at Turn 1.
