Álex Márquez delivered a commanding performance to take victory at Sepang, holding off a strong challenge from Pedro Acosta and Joan Mir. He moved into the lead on lap 2 passing Francesco Bagnaia and then managed the pace over the 20-lap race, eventually finishing 2.676 seconds ahead of Acosta.
Bagnaia started well from pole and grabbed the holeshot, but his pace faded in the middle phase of the race—he lost second to Acosta on lap 13 and later dropped out altogether. The exact cause is under investigation, with tyre wear or mechanical issues cited as possibilities.
Joan Mir took third place, making it his second podium in as many fly-away rounds. Franco Morbidelli finished fourth, while Fermín Aldeguer—despite his Rookie of the Year title—crashed out from seventh, missing the chance to add to his tally.
With this win, Álex Márquez capped off his breakthrough season in style. He also comfortably secured the runner-up spot in the championship behind his brother Marc Márquez. The result underscores his rise and sets a strong foundation for 2026.
