Circuito de Jerez - Angel Nieto, Spain

The European leg of the MotoGP season kicks off this Sunday with the legendary race at the Jerez circuit. Championship leader Marc Marquez returns to his native Spain, where he will look to confirm his dominance, while reigning champion Jorge Martin will be absent from the start following a horrific accident in Qatar.

The situation ahead of the fifth race of the season is filled with dramatic storylines. Marc Marquez leads the championship with three victories from the four races held so far. His main rival Jorge Martin, the reigning champion, was only released from the hospital this week after a terrifying crash in Qatar and will miss his home race, which is a significant blow for Spanish fans.

"Jerez is always special. When you hear your name being chanted in every corner, it gives you extra energy," says Marquez, who could extend his lead in the championship even further.

In qualifying, Fabio Quartararo on Yamaha surprised everyone by taking an unexpected pole position with a time of 1:35.610. Marc Marquez will start from second place just 0.033 seconds behind, while Francesco Bagnaia, last year's winner at this circuit, sits in third position (+0.145 s).

The Circuito de Jerez - Angel Nieto is an iconic venue in MotoGP history. The first races were held here in 1987, and since 1989, the circuit has been a continuous part of the championship calendar. The race will take place on a 4.42 km track with riders completing 25 laps. Francesco Bagnaia holds the circuit record.

The Jerez race marks an important milestone in the calendar as the first European race of the 2025 season. Riders will remain on European circuits until the end of September, and after the wild start to the season in overseas and Asian races, more stable weather and familiar tracks are expected.

Remember that MotoGP once again offers a packed weekend with qualifying and sprint race on Saturday and the main race on Sunday at 14:00. Last year's podium in Jerez was occupied by Francesco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez, and Marco Bezzecchi.

Can Marquez confirm his dominance on home soil, or will Ducati, led by Bagnaia, return to the spotlight? Jerez promises a thrilling spectacle that will kick off the European part of the season in grand style.

DE BRUYNE'S FAREWELL TO ETIHAD FACES CHERRIES' ROAD INVINCIBILITY

Image
  May 20, 2025   Manchester City - AFC Bournemouth   Etihad Stadium, Manchester On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth in the 37th round of the Premier League. The match offers a likely farewell of the home star Kevin De Bruyne to Etihad Stadium against a team with excellent away form. Manchester City have won all seven of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth – only Arsenal (10 vs Stoke) and Manchester United (8 vs Wigan) have a better 100% home win rate against an opponent in the competition. The Citizens thus represent an insurmountable obstacle for the Cherries at their own ground. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture against Man City 2-1 in November, having been winless in their first 20 league meetings with the Citizens beforehand (D2 L18). The South England side thus achieved a historic success this season. Manchester City have won their final home league game in 10 of the last 11 seasons (D1), including each of the la...

Marks Could Be the Next Irving: NFL Draft 2025 Late-Round Gems

Image
  Bucky Irving proved last year that the fourth round can hide future stars. His 1,122 rushing yards and eight touchdowns made him the most productive rookie runner in the NFL. Now the search continues - which of this year's late picks will repeat similar success? The pattern is clear. Irving followed the path of Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City's seventh-round gem from 2022. Both had one thing in common - they weren't college superstars with astronomical numbers, but they proved efficiency and ability to maximize opportunities. Among this year's candidates, Marks from USC stands out most, selected by Houston in the fourth round. His transformation is remarkable - four years at Mississippi State never exceeded 600 yards per season, but a single season at USC brought 1,133 yards with impressive 6.8 yards per carry. Marks has an ideal situation for immediate impact. Joe Mixon ahead of him has injury history and Houston under new coordinator Nick Caley is looking for fresh b...
