MotoGP Summer Break: Championship Check In

Marc Marquez may be running away with the 2025 title, but behind him, the championship standings reveal a fascinating mix of factory form, rising stars, and the impact of MotoGP’s concession system. From Ducati’s dominance to Honda and Yamaha’s quiet resurgence, here’s how the grid stacks up after the Czech Grand Prix weekend — and what it means for each manufacturer’s development path.

Manufacturer Key Points

Ducati

• Five riders in the top 6 shows immense depth.
• Marc Marquez [Ducati Lenovo Team] dominance + consistent support from Alex Marquez [BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP], Pecco Bagnaia [Ducati Lenovo Team], and the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team.
• No surprise they continue to lock out Rank A in the Concession system.

Aprilia

• Marco Bezzecchi flying the flag solo in the Aprilia Racing team with 156 points (P4).
• Jorge Martin’s [Aprilia Racing] injury and Aleix’s switch to Honda have hurt the overall tally.
• Still comfortably Rank C, but lacking strength in numbers.

KTM

• Pedro Acosta [Red Bull KTM Factory Racing] (P7) leads their charge with 124 pts.
• Brad Binder [Red Bull KTM Factory Racing] in P12 (68 pts) and Maverick Viñales [Red Bull KTM Tech3] in P11 (69 pts) highlight some inconsistency.
• Solid mid-pack presence keeping them in Rank C.

Honda

• Joan Zarco [CASTROL Honda LCR] (P8, 109 pts) is the clear standout.
• Joan Mir [Honda HRC Castrol] is having the unluckiest season, only 36.36% of his crashes in Sprints and Grand Prix this year have been self inflicted, the rest have been contact with another rider.
• Signs of progress, but still deep in Rank D.

Yamaha

• Fabio Quartararo [Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team] (P9) leads with 102 pts.
• Like Honda, visible gains, but still Rank D.
