For the third time this season, Marc Marquez took victory in the Saturday Sprint Race as he beat his brother, Alex Marquez.
Marc Marquez extended his winning streak as he claimed victory in the Sprint Race at the Circuit of the Americas. The Spaniard has now won three Sprint Races and two Grands Prix in the opening three rounds of the season.
Alex Marquez continued his run of second places as he finished runner-up to his brother for the fifth time in the 2025 season.
Francesco Bagnaia returned to the podium as he claimed third place in the Sprint Race for the third time. The Italian did fight with the Marquez's in the early stages of the race but could not match their pace.
