JAKARTA Marc Marquez's failure to beat the Mandalika Circuit in the 2025 Indonesian MotoGP race last weekend made him unable to match the records of his former rival Valentino Rossi.
The peak of the 2025 Indonesian MotoGP race at the Mandalika International Circuit, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), took place on Sunday, October 5, 2025. Marquez failed to finish this race.
The racer, nicknamed The Baby Alien, who has just won the 2025 world champion, started the race from ninth place and was immediately involved in an accident in the first round.
He fell after being hit by Marco Bezzecchi from Aprilia Racing when he entered Turn 7 at high speed. The incident forced both drivers to get out of the track early.

Marquez was thrown from his motorbike and his leg was hit by Bezzecki, who also fell after leaving the lane. Marquez reportedly suffered a shoulder injury as a result of the incident.
After falling, Marquez could not even immediately rise up and seemed to be holding the arm. This latest incident adds to Marquez's poor record above the Mandalika track.
Of the four opportunities to appear there, he has never once climbed the highest podium in the main race. His best achievement was to climb the third podium in last year's Sprint Race race.
This latest failure automatically made Marquez fail to match the record number of circuits that Rossi previously won. The rider nicknamed The Doctor won over 23 different tracks during his MotoGP career.
On the other hand, Marquez has won over 22 different tracks during his brilliant career. That includes all the tracks included in the 2025 racing calendar, except for Mandalika and the Algarve International Circuit in Portimao, Portugal.
Thus, to be equal to Rossi, Marquez needs to beat Portimao, who will only hold a race in November 2025.
The Mandalika 2025 MotoGP race was won by Fermin Aldeguer from Gresini Racing. The Spaniard defeated two of his compatriots Pedro Acosta and Alex Marquez who were in second and third place in a row.
