Qatar GP Drama: Alex Marquez’s Incident with VR46 Rider Results in Penalty

The 2025 MotoGP Qatar at Lusail Circuit delivered compelling drama — a collision incident involving Alex Marquez and VR46 Racing Team rider Fabio Di Giannantonio.

The incident unfolded at the first turn after the start — Alex Marquez made contact with his brother Marc Marquez, followed by a collision with Di Giannantonio that resulted in a long lap penalty for the Gresini Racing rider.

Despite the penalty, Alex Marquez recovered to finish the race in sixth position — while Di Giannantonio dropped to 16th place and failed to score points in this fourth race of the season.
