Expectations before the race
Marc Marquez lost his lead at the 2025 MotoGP Riders championship after a severe crash in the COTA circuit, USA. This time the spanish rider will again recharge his innerself and try to make a comeback. His teammate Bagnaia finally found a way to beat Marquez, and he will try to carry on his winning momentum. Alex Marquez will once again make that extra effort to win the race. The race will happen under lights, and the MotoGP riders will be conscious while taking corners. High humidity is also expected, so it will be a tiring race weekend for both fans and riders
