“The first laps will be difficult…”. And the rest as well, Fabio. But…you nailed it. The 2021 world champ is one of the most talented and charismatic racers in MotoGP and the 26-year-old toughed out another episode of the 2025 series. Fabio Quartararo didn’t coat the scale of the task at a vibrant Catalan GP as he motored around with his rivals on the MotoGP parade trailer Sunday morning. The Frenchman has become accustomed to reducing a competitive deficit with his skill and perception of the limits in the last three seasons and was again Monster Energy Yamaha’s leading light on Spanish ground as he throttled to P5.

MotoGP came roaring back to Hungary for the first time in 33 years—and we were there to light up the weekend. Balaton Park Circuit, a brand-new stop near the shores of Lake Balaton and about an hour west of Budapest, hosted a packed three-day festival of speed and fan energy.

Into the red zone. The Ducati Lenovo factory team coated MotoGP red in all-out victory – Pole Position, Sprint and Grand Prix – and double trophy glory in Thailand with Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia proving that supremacy counts. Sunlight bounced off the glasses of the Spaniard and the Italian from the plinths of the podium while the cheers of the 99,700 Thai fans rang out at Buriram.
