Summary
- Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi claims pole for Valencia GP sprint race
- Bezzecchi sets new lap record, beating Alex Marquez by 0.02 seconds
- Fabio Di Giannantonio qualifies third on the front row
On November 15, 2025, Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi has claimed pole position for the Valencia Grand Prix sprint race, the final round of the MotoGP season. The 27-year-old Italian rider set a new lap record of 1min 28.83sec, just 0.02 seconds quicker than Alex Marquez of Ducati-Gresini.
Bezzecchi, who has been in outstanding form, continued his impressive run by securing his fifth pole of the season. "It was super cool. I had a lot of fun in that lap," he said after the qualifying session.
Joining Bezzecchi and Marquez on the front row will be Fabio Di Giannantonio of Ducati-VR46, who qualified third. The second row will feature Raul Fernandez of Trackhouse-Aprilia, Pedro Acosta of KTM, and 2021 world champion Fabio Quartararo of Yamaha.
However, it was a disappointing day for two-time world champion Francesco Bagnaia, who failed to make it to the second qualifying session and will start the race from 16th position after a problem with his Ducati. Last year's champion, Jorge Martin of Aprilia, who is returning from injury, will start 17th.
