Álex Márquez – BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP

Álex Márquez is one of MotoGP's most electrifying talents, and his 2025 season with BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP cemented his status as a true championship contender. Riding the Ducati Desmosedici GP24, the Spaniard from Cervera took the fight all the way to the final round, finishing as MotoGP World Championship runner-up.

The 2025 campaign was a revelation. Álex secured three Grand Prix victories and accumulated 33 podiums as part of the team's collective effort. The season opener at the Thai Grand Prix set the tone – an extraordinary battle between Álex and his brother Marc Márquez that captivated fans worldwide. The Márquez brothers occupying first and second in the early championship standings was both thrilling for MotoGP and a remarkable achievement for the Gresini project.

Born in Cervera, Spain, Álex Márquez is the younger brother of multiple MotoGP world champion Marc Márquez. After proving himself in Moto2 and MotoGP stints with Honda and LCR, his move to Gresini Racing on Ducati machinery transformed his career trajectory entirely. The combination of Ducati's competitive machinery and a team built around his development unlocked a new level of performance.

This team gave me everything I needed to fight for wins. Together with BK8, we will push even harder in 2026.

In 2026, Álex returns to BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP with renewed ambition. The "Pure Essence" livery debut in Kuala Lumpur marked the beginning of what both rider and team hope will be a title-winning campaign. With the lessons learned from a near-miss in 2025, Álex Márquez enters the new season as a genuine World Championship favourite.

His smooth, calculated riding style suits the Ducati Desmosedici perfectly, and team insiders believe his ability to extract performance across all circuit types gives BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP an edge over rival independent outfits.
