Marc Marquez took his 4th consecutive victory in the 125cc Spanish GP. This victory makes Marquez the youngest rider ever to win 4 consecutive races, and also places him at the top of the Championship Standings.

Aftre holding off a brief challenge by Bradley Smith, Marquez was able to gap the rest of the pack and remain unchallenged for the rest of the race – Pol Espargaro, Nicol Terol and Bradley Smith were left to fight for the remaining 2 podium places.

Smith held 4th position for the first half of the race and seemed to be struggling with top speed, but as his fuel load dropped he was able to mount challenges on Terol and Espargaro. The 3 riders battled and exchanged places until a tense last lap saw all three pushing to the limit until Terol highsided himself out of the race on the final lap. Smith was able to take second place and Espargaro took 3rd.

Cortese and Vasquez also provided abundant entertainment with their battle for 4th place with both riders swapping places lap after lap; but it was Cortese that claimed 4th with a strong pass on the final turn, reviving memories of Valentino Rossi’s pass on Jorge Lorenzo in last year’s MotoGP race.
