Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team: Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) finished in the final pole position for Grand Prix of Valencian Community, emerging as the fastest in a quintet of riders all of whom set times that are under the previous lap record, resulting in less than a tenth splitting the top five in the qualifying stage, in the MotoGP 2025 championship.

The Italian’s 1:28.809 was 0.026s quicker than Alex Marquez’s (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) effort, and 0.044s better than Fabio Di Giannantonio’s (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) personal best as we now strap in for what looks set to be an incredible Tissot Sprint.

The opening stint in qualifying began with Augusto Fernandez (Yamaha Factory Racing Team) crashing at Turn 8 on Yamaha’s V4, while it was the other Fernandez, Raul, who put his Trackhouse MotoGP Aprilia at the Q1 summit by 0.032s. Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) was an early P2, with Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) third in an incredibly close session. Aleix Espargaro (Honda HRC Test Team) was P4, but there was just 0.099s splitting the lead quartet.
