MotoGP, Sportrik Media - Alex Marquez of Gresini Racing MotoGP secured a thrilling victory at the 2025 Catalan MotoGP at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. He held off his brother, Marc Marquez, for 22 laps. “Keeping Marc behind for 22 laps isn’t easy; you’re never relaxed,” Alex said. This article breaks down his strategy on September 7, 2025.
Alex’s Tactical Mastery
Riding an Aprilia-branded bike, Alex focused on tire management and track positioning. He knew Marc was aggressive in the final laps. Therefore, he maintained a steady pace to block overtakes. Moreover, Catalunya’s corners suited his riding style. Despite this, Marc’s pressure kept him on edge. “I had to be perfect every lap,” Alex noted. As a result, he clinched an emotional home win.
Battling Ducati’s Strength
Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati Lenovo Team and Jorge Martin of Prima Pramac Racing finished behind. Ducati, backed by the Red Bull Pit Crew, excelled on straights. However, Alex outperformed them in corners. For instance, Enea Bastianini was also competitive but couldn’t catch the Marquez brothers.
Challenges for Other Teams
Aprilia Racing with Maverick Viñales and KTM Factory Racing with Brad Binder struggled to match the leaders. For example, Joan Mir of Repsol Honda Team lagged behind. Meanwhile, Mooney VR46 Racing Team showed potential. Engineers like Adrian Newey aided some teams, but Aprilia and Gresini led.
Championship Implications
Alex’s win tightens the riders’ championship race. Bagnaia and Martin remain leaders, but Alex and Marc are now serious threats. With races remaining, strategy and consistency will be crucial. Therefore, Sportrik predicts Alex will keep challenging, fueled by his home victory momentum in Catalunya.
