Almost perfect, this has been Marc Márquez’s weekend in Mugello during the Italy GP of 2025. Controlling the times, managing the races, recovering the mistakes with peace of mind and taking the Pole and the two victory again, S has shown that it is one step ahead in all the senses.
With this new triumphal weekend in the GP of Italy, Marc has already achieved an advantage in the general that allows him to start managing depending on the situation, and even make some zero without losing the leadership in his brother. But that rent is tremendously superior if we compare it with the third classified, a Pecco Bagnaia that comes out of home race.
Nor failing at the exit can with Marc
After getting pole almost against prognosis, because everyone expected Bagnaia to take it away on this occasion, Marc Márquez started badly in the race to the Sprint. The question of knowing if it was well configured by not his Ducati for the exit made him repeat the process without time and was “surprised” by the traffic light, which went out. He lost several positions while Bagnaia and Álex tried to take advantage of the opportunity, but Marc began to recover the time and space lost to put in front already in the fourth return, when he surpassed his brother.

From there no one could shade Marc, who imposed his rhythm in front to take a slight advantage that came to touch the second and a half over Álex, which was finally second. Bagnaia, Drawn from Marc but near Álex, also had to be attentive to the rhythm of a vineyard, very competitive with the KTM who stayed at the doors of the podium by not being able to hunt Pecco. Fabio Di Giannantonio completed the TOP5 although already offended.
Italy’s GP was intense at the beginning, but the final result was the same
After what was seen on Saturday, the truth is that for Sunday it seemed that stopping Marc would be little less than impossible. But fortunately the races are races and for a period of almost 10 laps, we live the most spectacular moments of what we have been from year.
Marc Márquez, Álex Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia gave an authentic recital of overtaking, some of them spectacular, others unexpected, others for aspiration on the line … but made themselves lifted from their seats to the public of Mugello, and have the heart in a fist to those who lived the race from home.

We could see a Bagnaia and an Álex Márquez determined to battle with Marc, and a Marc waiting for his moment, who arrived after the first eight laps when he already went to the front and began to print a higher rhythm, which only Álex could continue in part.
Back by Marc was making the advantage bigger while Álex, in turn, managed to keep a Bagnaia at bay that after a spectacular race was losing ground. In the end, with the Márquez al Frent, and Bagnaia’s concern came from behind with a Fabio Di Giannantonio who imposed his rhythm to “steal” the cartea in the absence of two laps.
And in the background, Bagnaia had that the always controversial and little content of Morbidelli, Italian classic style pilot where there are, took Moverick Viñales ahead in an action that cost both the race. Viñales went to the ground and Morbidelli had to make a long return that had to repeat for not doing it in conditions. Both went ahead of Di Giannantonio, so they would surely have also advanced Bagnaia in the final part of the Italy GP, if Morbidelli would not have been forgotten that the races are not to a curve.

Therefore, Bagnaia’s fourth position is almost a gift, because in just two laps he lost three seconds with Di Giannantonio and if we had had a more compacted race, the loss of points would have been superb.
As superb was, again, Bezzecchi’s performance with the Aprilia ending fifth after tracing. It is true that Aprilia is not as competitive as Ducati, but the last weekends show that it is much faster than the Japanese and, except for vineyards, than the KTM.
Morbidelli, after his double long turn, was able to trace to the sixth place ahead of a Raúl Fernández who received updates from Aprilia this weekend and that was placed in a solid seventh position ahead of Acosta and Binder, with an ogura completing a top10 without Japanese motorcycles.
And Mir, tenth first, was the best pilot Honda and Miguel Ángel Oliveira, tenth, the best of Yamaha on a track where it was possible that Japanese motorcycles suffered, but it was not expected to do so so much. The good? Assen waits this weekend.
