The starting order for the 2025 San Marino MotoGP Sprint at the 16th round of the 2025 season.

Marco Bezzecchi starts from pole position thanks to a 1:30.134 set on his final lap of Q2.

Alex Marquez held provisional pole until that late Bezzecchi attempt but will start second.

Fabio Quartararo starts from the back of the front row after coming through Q1 to qualify third-fastest.

Marc Marquez had been fastest in Practice on Friday, but will start from the second row in fourth place alongside Franco Morbidelli and Luca Marini, who secured his best qualifying for Honda with sixth place.

Fabio Di Giannantonio heads up the third row in seventh place ahead of Francesco Bagnaia and Pedro Acosta, who crashed once again in Q2. Acosta was third when he crashed, but will start ninth for his third row-three start in the past four races.

Row four will feature Fermin Aldeguer and Jorge Martin. It should also feature Joan Mir, but the Honda HRC Castrol rider is a doubt for Sunday after missing Saturday's action following his Practice crash on Friday afternoon.

Mir's absence from Saturday's running meant that his 12th-place grid position - guaranteed by his top-10 position in Practice - was given to Miguel Oliveira as everyone who qualified behind Mir moved up one spot. For Sunday, Mir is yet to withdraw, and is therefore currently expected to take his 12th place on the grid. The Sunday grid order is therefore reflective of the qualifying order.

The full grid, which also includes Augusto Fernandez on the V4 Yamaha YZR-M1, for the 2025 San Marino MotoGP Sprint is below.
