In a shock turn of events at the 2025 Qatar Formula 1 Grand Prix, MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi was left speechless as Marc Marquez claimed an impressive pole position. Marquez, riding for Gresini Racing, had a blistering lap, passing his rivals in an exciting qualifying session. Rossi, who now oversees the VR46 team, was left in awe of Marquez’s pace, hailing the Spaniard’s “unbelievable” performance in a post-race interview. The Qatar debut set the stage for an exciting season, with Marquez signalling a strong comeback.
Adding to the drama, the KTM team boss dropped a bombshell involving young star Pedro Acosta. Reports suggest KTM are in talks to see Acosta join Rossi’s VR46 team in 2026. A standout rookie, Acosta has attracted the attention of a number of teams, but the revelation has sent shockwaves through the paddock. “Pedro is a generational talent, and VR46 could be the perfect fit,” the KTM boss hinted, sparking speculation of a sensational move.
Fans are in high spirits as the MotoGP season kicks off with some surprising developments. Marquez’s pole position has reignited his rivalry with Rossi, albeit on the sidelines, while Acosta’s potential move could reshape the standings. With Qatar looming, all eyes will be on Marquez to see if he can turn his pole position into a win, and on Rossi’s VR46 team to respond to the challenge.
