History of the MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix

The Mandalika International Street Circuit is the modern home of the Indonesian Motorcycle Grand Prix, created as part of a major tourism and infrastructure project on the southern coast of Lombok. After Indonesia’s previous spell on the world championship calendar at Sentul in the 1990s, the country spent more than two decades without a MotoGP round before committing to a new, purpose-built venue in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone. Construction of the track began in 2019, and the circuit was officially inaugurated in late 2021, bringing WorldSBK to Lombok that same year and welcoming MotoGP back to Indonesia in 2022.

Designed as a semi-permanent “street” circuit integrated into the resort’s road network, Mandalika has quickly gained a reputation as a fast, technical track, mixing rapid direction changes with heavy braking zones and long, loaded corners that reward commitment and careful tyre management.

2025 Indonesian Grand Prix Summary

Fermín Aldeguer snatched the holeshot from pole-sitter Marco Bezzecchi, going on to control the Grand Prix whilst chaos ensued behind him. A brutal first lap saw Bezzecchi slam into the back of newly crowned world champion Marc Márquez in Turn 7, sending both into the gravel and out of the race, leaving Márquez with a left shoulder injury. That incident cleared the way for Aldeguer to settle into his rhythm; after an early exchange with fellow Murcian Pedro Acosta he eased away at the front, leaving Acosta and Álex Márquez to stabilise the top three.

Aldeguer took the flag unchallenged to claim his maiden MotoGP victory and become the second-youngest premier class winner in history, winning by almost seven seconds. Acosta’s composed ride to second reinforced his status as KTM’s benchmark, while Álex Márquez completed the podium and delivered a double top-three finish for Gresini Racing.
