MotoGP Chaos in COTA as Marquez crashes and Bagnaia wins 🤯
Pecco Bagnaia won a dramatic 2025 MotoGP Americas Grand Prix after Ducati team-mate Marc Marquez crashed out of a comfortable lead.
Marquez came into Sunday’s 20-lap grand prix at COTA looking to extend his 100% winning record in 2025, having taken victory in Saturday’s sprint.
But he would ultimately crash out of the lead on lap nine, gifting Pecco Bagnaia a comfortable first victory of the season. Second for Alex Marquez means Marc Marquez now trails his younger brother by one point in the standings.
There was drama even before the grand prix got underway, as rain prior to lights led most to fit wet tyres, though KTM duo Brad Binder and Enea Bastianini, and Trackhouse Racing’s Ai Ogura, fitted slicks.The start was then thrown into chaos with three minutes before lights out, after Marc Marquez ran off the grid to get his dry bike - triggering a number or riders, including Bagnaia, to do the same. With some still on the grid and others running into pitlane with bikes heading in the other direction, the start was delayed.
