After touring through Europe, MotoGP returns this weekend with the first of four exotic trips: Japan, Indonesia, Australia, and Malaysia, before the final two races take place in Portugal and Spain (Valencia). This weekend, it could be the one where Marc Márquez gets crowned MotoGP champion of 2025, after a stunning season wiping out all rivals, even his brother Álex Márquez.
And when will Márquez’s potential victory find his fans in Spain and Europe? Most will be in bed, as, sadly, the race will happen very early in the morning on Sunday September 28. The race at the Twin Ring Motegi will start on Sunday at 7 AM (CEST), 6 AM in the UK. The sprint race on Saturday is at 8 AM.
