Bagnaia was able to catch Martin towards the end of the race, overtaking the Italian with five laps remaining. The Ducati rider was able to retain the position and take his third of eleven victories last year.

Where is the 2025 MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix being held?

The 2025 Catalan Grand Prix will be held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and first joined the calendar in 1992 as the European Motorcycle Grand Prix, before becoming the Catalan Grand Prix in 1996. The track was built in 1991 and has hosted a number of motorsport series, including Formula 1, the 24 Hours series and the GT world challenge.

A chicane was added to the Formula 1 circuit in 2007 but the changes weren’t updated on the MotoGP track until the death of Moto2 rider Luis Salom in 2016. The chicane was dropped from the F1 layout in 2023, but has remained as part of the MotoGP layout.

The chicane layout of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is 4.675 km (2.905 miles) long, with Pedro Acosta setting the lap record in 2024 with a time of 1:39.664 on his KTM RC16.

What happened at the 2024 Moto2 and Moto3 Catalan Grand Prix races?

Ai Ogura displayed a brilliant performance during the 2024 Moto2 Catalan Grand Prix, making his way from 10th on the grid to bring home the win for Boscoscuro. A final move on his teammate Sergio Garcia saw the Japanese rider take his first of three wins last season.

Garcia had started from pole position but conceded the lead to Fermin Aldeguer on the second lap. The pair fought furiously, both being handed track limit warnings, before Aldeguer was handed a penalty. The MV Conveyors Speed Up rider was then late on the brakes later in the race, finding himself thrown off his bike and into the gravel.

David Alonso took his fourth of the 2024 season at last year’s Catalan Grand Prix, his second in a row after also taking a victory at the previous Le Mans race.

Gaviota Aspar started from 6th place and worked his way through the grid to second by lap eleven, before setting his target on the lead. Alonso was able to pull a slight gap ahead of Aspar and was able to retain the position at the chequered flag.
