Starting grid for the 2025 MotoGP Australian Grand Prix after penalties
The full starting grid for the 2025 Australian MotoGP race.

The grid for the 2025 MotoGP Australian Grand Prix is headed by Fabio Quartararo on pole position, with home hero Jack Miller making it two Yamahas on the front row.
Between them will be Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi, who must serve a double long lap penalty in the grand prix. Bezzecchi won the sprint race.
Francesco Bagnaia and Brad Binder each have a three-place grid penalty on Sunday: Bagnaia for holding up Bezzecchi in qualifying and Binder for the same offence against Johann Zarco.
Bagnaia is currently trying to regain ground on Alex Marquez for second in the world championship.
The Gresini rider qualified as the top Ducati in sixth, in a tough session for the Desmosedicis, despite two qualifying falls.
Bezzecchi, meanwhile, is now just eight points behind Bagnaia.
Marc Marquez, Jorge Martin and Maverick Vinales are all absent through injury and replaced by test riders Michele Pirro, Lorenzo Savadori and Pol Espargaro, respectively.
Sunday's grand prix has been delayed by an hour (to 3pm), due to weather concerns.
