Here's a short video from the qualifier and sprint yesterday! #MotoGP #COTA

The Márquez brothers finished first and second, with Alex closely following behind Marc. Francesco Bagnaia came in third.

What an exciting time at the Circuit of The Americas! Will anyone be able to beat Alex Márquez? We will see tomorrow! #COFA #MotoGP

One more lap to go! Marc and Alex Marquez pull away to distance themselves in first and second place. #MotoGP #COTA
March 29, 2025 at 8:22 PM
Halfway through the sprint. Marc Márquez leads barely half a second ahead of his brother, Alex. Will Alex be able to pass us brother with five more laps to go? #MotoGP #COTA

Watch the starting lap as the racers approach turns 1 and 2!

Right now, Marc Màrquez currently is in the lead, followed by his brother, Alex.

This will be a close race! #MotoGP #COTA

The sprint begins in 2 minutes! Who do you think will rank in the top three? #MotoGP #COTA #Sprints

Fun fact: The last American to race in #MotoGP was Nicky Hayden, who rode in the Grand Prix in 2016.

With Hayden’s death in 2017, the U.S. has yet to have another American racer compete in the final race.

Crowds beginning to gather in stands and lawns around #COFA for the #MotoGP sprint today, which will begin in than an hour.

The sprint will give spectators an idea of how the Grand Prix will go tomorrow.
March 29, 2025 at 7:11 PM
The next anticipated race for #MotoGP is the 10-lap Tissot Sprint at 3 p.m., where the racers will race for points contributing toward their individual championship scores.

The points are given to the top nine finishes in the sprint, but these points are reduced compared to those offered tmrw’s GP

Watch Márquez wave at fans as he finishes first in the #MotoGP qualifier at #COTA!

Will he be able to finish first tomorrow in the Grand Prix race? What do y’all think?
March 29, 2025 at 4:50 PM
As projected, Marc Márquez wins the second qualifier, followed by Fabio Di Giannantonio and then Márquez’s brother, Alex.

The positions of this qualifying race will be the positions the racers start in tomorrow at the Grand Prix race! #MotoGP #COTA

#COFA Turn 1 has claimed another victim, with Fermín Aldeguer sliding off.

Turn 1 is infamous for its harsh turn, leading to both many passes and crashes during races.

The qualifier continues with the racers giving it their all in these straightaways.

Màrquez currently leads with a lap time of two minutes, closely followed by Giannantonio and then Bagnaia.

A view of the track and score board!

A fun fact is that #MotoGP bikes can reach up to 130 decibels! For reference, this is comparable to the sound produced by a jet taking off! #COTA

The first qualifying race now starts at the Circuit of The Americas! Stay tuned for updates on who qualifies for the second race and pictures of the track! #MotoGP #COTA

I’m also keeping my eye on two-time MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia, also racing for Ducati Lenovo.

Will he be able to reclaim the title he last won in 2023?

The qualifier and sprint today will be able to give better projections for the actual race tomorrow!
March 29, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Despite his crash yesterday in practice, the racer to look out for today is Marc Márquez for Ducati Lenovo.

Màrquez currently has 6 MotoGP championship titles under his belt.

Márquez’s brother, Alex, also joins the race for BK8 Gresini Racing. #MotoGP
