2025 Valencia MotoGP: Sprint reaction LIVE UPDATES!
Live coverage of qualifying and the sprint at the 2025 MotoGP Valencia Grand Prix
The 2025 MotoGP Valencia Grand Prix continues on Saturday 15 November with qualifying and the sprint from the 22nd round of the season.
The longest MotoGP season in history concludes this weekend with MotoGP's return to Valencia, after the event had to be struck from the 2024 schedule due to deadly flooding in the region.
The world championship in 2025 has already been decided in Marc Marquez's favour, with the factory Ducati rider winning his seventh title at the Japanese Grand Prix.
However, a shoulder injury has kept Marquez out of action since the Indonesian Grand Prix.
The main championship battle at the season finale centres on third place, with Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi close to a historic result for the Italian brand, while Pecco Bagnaia looking at risk of slipping to fifth given his recent struggles.
KTM's Pedro Acosta led Friday practice at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, with Bezzecchi close behind, as race pace suggests another three-way battle between Acosta, Bezzecchi and Gresini's Alex Marquez.
Marco Bezzecchi qualified on pole on Saturday morning.
Jorge Martin returns to the line-up this weekend after an injury spell since Japan, though the Aprilia rider faces a double long lap penalty in the grand prix for a collision with Bezzecchi at Motegi.
Saturday schedule:
9:10am GMT - FP2
9:50am GMT - Qualifying
2pm GMT - Sprint

Mechanical - Pecco Bagnaia
Pecco Bagnaia has stopped! That is a disaster. He is out of Q2. He's been knocked down to third.
10:02
Raul Fernandez blitzes the field on this lap to go top with a 1m29.036s, which puts him well clear of the field.
10:01
Martin, somehow, is lighting up the timing screens!
10:01
Less than five minutes to go.
Bagnaia improves to second.
09:57
It's very tight at the top. The top four are covered by 0.099s!

Just under 10 minutes to go.
09:55
Zarco now goes fastest with a 1m29.586s, with Bagnaia trailing now.
09:54
Bagnaia sets the pace with his best lap of the weekend with a 1m29.732s from Zarco.
09:53
Crash - Augusto Fernandez
Augusto Fernandez has crashed the V4 Yamaha already at Turn 10.
He did say yesterday that the lack of front-end feeling on that bike was catching him out even when not pushing.
09:50
Bagnaia leads the field out of pitlane.

Chequered flag - FP2
The chequered flag has come out in FP2.
Trackhouse's Ai Ogura has gone fastest with a 1m29.897s. Doesn't look like that was on new tyres, either, so that's impressive.
Ogura will feature in Q2 later on.
09:40
Acosta was on a flying lap there, too. Was 0.008s up in sector one. Let's see what that does for his confidence going into Q2.
09:39
Acosta is riding that bike back to the paddock, so it's not a wreck, which is encouraging.
09:38
Crash - Pedro Acosta
Pedro Acosta has gone down with just under three minutes to go in FP2.
He's ok, but that's a disaster.
He's crashed at Turn 4. His KTM doesn't look too badly damaged, but we've seen this before with Acosta when he's had strong one-lap and race pace that he's made a critical error on a Saturday.
