The 2025 MotoGP Qatar GP Qualifying is over, and we have to head to the Sprint race. Marc Marquez regained the top spot against his brother and championship leader, Alex Marquez. The biggest shock was Francesco Bagnaia finishing in P11. We still don't know what to expect from the track under lights, but we believe Ducati will dominate the rest of the grid. Yamaha have improved a lot in the session, with both the riders finishing inside the top 10. The only Honda inside the top 10 was Zarco’s. Check out the full results below.

Qualifying Session Summary

The Marquez brothers, as usual, continued their good form with the P1 and P2 finish. But the biggest surprise was seeing Yamaha Factory rider Fabio Quartararo in P3. This is the first time Yamaha has been in the top 3 this year in qualifying. He is followed by VR46 riders Morbidelli and Giannantonio. Rookie rider Ai Ogura continued his sublime form and finished in P10 ahead of two-time world champion Pecco Bagnaia. Reigning MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin missed out on Q2 as he finished in P14 behind his teammate, Marco Bezzecchi.
