MotoGP is headed to the Misano World Circuit for this weekend’s San Marino Grand Prix, as Marc Marquez focuses on a potential championship victory in Japan.

Marc Marquez failed to take an eighth consecutive race win at last weekend’s Catalan Grand Prix, after being defeated from the streak by his brother, Alex.

Alex Marquez took pole position for the race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya before pulling out a gap of 1:740 seconds ahead of his brother in Sunday’s race.

The victory for Alex slightly reduced the championship gap from Marc to 182 points, with his brother still leading with 487 points compared to Alex’s 305.

The victory for Alex means that the earliest Marc can secure the championship is the Japanese Grand Prix, although there is still potential that his younger brother could also take the win.

With just seven races remaining, attention will remain on the Marquez brothers as they fight for the championship.

What are the timings for the 2025 MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix?

Here are the full timings for the 2025 MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix:

Where is the 2025 MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix being held?

The 2025 MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix is being held at the Misano World Circuit in the province of Rimini of the Emilia-Romagna region.

The track was first opened in 1972, and first hosted Grand Prix motorcycle racing in 1980. It became a stable part of the MotoGP calendar in 2007, hosting the San Marino Grand Prix every year since.

In 2011, the track was officially named the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli after the Italian rider who died at the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix. Simoncelli, who was born near the circuit, in Cattolica, was in his second season of MotoGP before he was killed at the penultimate race.

The Misano World Circuit is 4.226 km (2.626 mi), with Francesco Bagnaia setting the lap record in 2024, with a time of 1:30.877.

What happened at the 2024 MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix?

After failing to take a race win in the first half of the 2024 season, Marc Marquez claimed his second consecutive win at the 2024 San Marino Grand Prix, after a victory in Aragon the week before.

A crash in qualifying saw the Spaniard start from ninth on the grid, but he utilised a brief rain shower to make his way into the lead. Marquez then pulled away from the chasing pack of Francesco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini to finish the race with a 3.102s gap.

Jorge Martin started the race from pole, but a pit-stop decision because of the weather became the wrong call and left him a lap down from the leaders.

Meanwhile, much of Jorge Martin’s title advantage was wiped out when a pit-stop decision backfired, leaving the Sprint winner a lap down.

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

Ai Ogura won his final of three victories of the 2024 season at the San Marino Grand Prix, ahead of Aron Canet.

Ogura had started from third on the grid, but quickly took second from Tony Arbolino after a battle going into Turn 1. Ogura then set his focus on Canet up front, making a move for the lead with just three laps to go.

Despite Canet pushing to regain the lead, he was unable to get back past Ogura, who then also became the championship leader.

Angel Piqueras took his maiden Moto3 win at the 2024 Moto3 San Marino Grand Prix, despite a double long lap penalty for knocking Scott Ogden off his bike during qualifying.

The penalty saw the 17-year-old drop to 12th place, with the second penalty dropping him further to 17th with just sixteen laps remaining.

The young Spaniard made an impressive comeback, fighting his way into the top ten just three laps later, before quickly hitting the front of the chasing pack.

At the start of the final lap, Piqueras was able to overtake Daniel Holgado and win the race with a tight gap of just 0.035s.
