Alex Marquez secured the second victory of his MotoGP career in some style by beating his brother on pure merit in front of his home crowd.

The Catalan Grand Prix wasn’t exactly a classic, but the majority of fans would have been leaving the circuit delighted with the result.

The younger Marquez looked like the fastest one all weekend long and ensured that the title fight will extend beyond the upcoming San Marino Grand Prix.

Gresini are now the only team other than Ducati to have won more than once this year, and Marc Marquez’s 15-race winning streak has finally come to an end.

Marquez ‘gave up’ fighting Alex after making a critical mistake at the difficult turn seven towards the end of the race.

Despite crashing out of the sprint and leaving a big result on the table, Gavin Emmett spotted something ‘unbelievable’ in Marquez’s data after taking the first pole position of his season. He was very impressed by the Spaniard’s speed.

Alex Marquez told tyre wear made him ‘unbeatable’ against Marc Marquez at the Catalan Grand Prix

Although Alex disagrees with Marc about joining Ducati, his latest performance just showed exactly why he might be right.

Now that he’s embedded within the Gresini team and is comfortable with his environment, he has started to deliver some serious results.

It’s part of what Sylvain Guintoli thinks made him ‘unbeatable’ at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday.

“What a race,” Guintoli said on TNT Sports. “I know it wasn’t like a classic with loads of overtaking or whatever. But the Marquez brothers today were just unbeatable.

“They did everything they needed, they managed the race really well, they managed the tyre wear and everything. Fair play to them, well done.”

Why Alex Marquez’s Catalan Grand Prix win was critical for his 2025 MotoGP season

As a result of another bad weekend for Francesco Bagnaia, Marquez’s advantage is now 68 points in the fight for second place.

It would beat his previous best result set last year by six positions, and see him receive a large trophy for being the runner-up.

Not that he’ll want to, but he can now afford to have a few poor weekends and still be in control of his own destiny.

Marquez was held back by a ‘significant limitation’, but his situation with the GP24 has improved recently, helping him to rediscover his form. A mid-season injury didn’t help, but he’s finally back on track.
