BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP Heads to Sepang After Historic Double Podium in Indonesia

SEPANG, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 October 2025 - BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP arrives at the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia riding momentum from a historic double-podium finish at Mandalika. Rookie sensation Fermín Aldeguer claimed his first-ever MotoGP victory, while teammate Álex Márquez secured third place to clinch the Independent Riders’ Championship.

The Indonesian Grand Prix marked a major breakthrough for the Italian team. Aldeguer’s maiden win came in his debut MotoGP season, signaling his rapid ascent in the premier class. Márquez’s podium confirmed his first independent title and cemented his reputation as one of the grid’s most consistent and competitive riders.

The Sepang International Circuit, spanning 5.543 km, is known for its long straights, sweeping corners, and challenging tropical conditions. High temperatures and humidity will push both riders and machines to their limits across the weekend.

With the independent title already secured, Álex Márquez heads into Sepang free from points pressure and focused on another strong finish. Fermín Aldeguer, meanwhile, looks to prove that his Mandalika win was not a one-off, but the beginning of a consistent run at the front.

Adding to the spectacle, Hong Kong actor Louis Koo, one of Asia’s most recognized film stars, will attend the Sepang Grand Prix as a guest of BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP. His presence underscores the growing crossover between motorsport and entertainment in Asia.

The Malaysian round offers BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP another key chance to extend their recent success and carry their form into the season finale.
