Gresini Racing rider Fermin Aldeguer of Spain completed the podium after a superb late charge, though his result remains under investigation due to low tyre pressure.

Gonzalez retaliated moments later with an inside move at turn two. Gonzalez leads Moreira by just two points in the championship going into Sunday's (October 26) race. In Moto3 qualifying, Spain's David Almansa of Leopard Racing clinched his second pole position of the 2025 season.
