The 2025 MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix is set to be held from October 3 to October 5 at the Mandalika Circuit, where the fight for second place in the championship remains intense despite Marc Marquez securing the overall title. Fans will closely follow riders like Alex Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia as they compete for podium positions in this pivotal race weekend.
While Marc Marquez has already clinched the MotoGP title for 2025, the battle for the runner-up spot is still open ahead of the Indonesian round. Alex Marquez, representing the Gresini team, leads by 66 points over Francesco Bagnaia, who recently secured a dominating victory at the Japanese Grand Prix from pole position. The absence of last year’s Indonesian GP winner Jorge Martin, sidelined due to a collarbone fracture sustained in Motegi, adds a notable twist to the race dynamics. Additionally, Ai Ogura from Aprilia will miss the Mandalika event because of injury, impacting the lineup further.
