Details

In MotoGP, world champion Marc Márquez took his 12th win of the season, matching Mick Doohan's record of most premier class victories in a single season, from {{MGP|1997}}.{{cite news|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/race-report/210223/1/marquez-matches-doohan-record-with-victory-at-sepang.html|title=Marquez matches Doohan record with victory at Sepang|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|date=26 October 2014|access-date=29 December 2014}} The podium was completed by the two Movistar Yamaha riders; Valentino Rossi finished in second place and Jorge Lorenzo finished in third place. Márquez's result was also good enough for Honda to claim the manufacturers' championship, with a race to spare.{{cite news|url=http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2014/Honda+claim+63rd+Constructors+Championship+in+Sepang|title=Honda claim 63rd Constructor's Championship in Sepang|date=26 October 2014|access-date=29 December 2014|work=MotoGP.com|publisher=Dorna Sports}} Dani Pedrosa was also in contention during the race, but suffered two crashes and had to retire from the race. The result sealed fourth place in the championship for Pedrosa. Andrea Iannone withdrew from the race due to a crash in practice and resultant injury.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}} Pol Espargaró also crashed during a free practice session, setting his bike aflame.{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}

In the Moto2 category, a third-place finish for Esteve Rabat was enough for the Marc VDS Racing Team rider to clinch the Moto2 world championship with a race to spare.{{cite news|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/116504|title=Tito Rabat clinches 2014 Moto2 championship at Sepang|work=Autosport|publisher=Haymarket Publications|date=26 October 2014|access-date=29 December 2014}} Rabat had started the race from pole position,{{cite news|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/210178/1/moto2-rabat-secures-pole-at-sweltering-sepang.html|title=Rabat secures pole at sweltering Sepang|first=Lisa|last=Lewis|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|date=25 October 2014|access-date=29 December 2014}} but eventually trailed his title rivals Maverick Viñales and Mika Kallio home. It was Viñales' third victory in four races,{{cite news|url=http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2014/Vinales+Sepang+Race+Review|title=Viñales impresses again as victories continue|work=MotoGP.com|publisher=Dorna Sports|date=28 October 2014|access-date=29 December 2014}} and ensured that the battle for the runner-up placing in the championship would go down to the final race in Valencia; Kallio held the advantage by 15 points over Viñales.

In Moto3, Efrén Vázquez took his second victory of the season – and of his career{{cite news|url=http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2014/Vazquez+Sepang+Race+Review|title=Vazquez on breathtaking Sepang race win|work=MotoGP.com|publisher=Dorna Sports|date=28 October 2014|access-date=29 December 2014}} – ahead of Jack Miller and Álex Rins.{{cite news|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/race-report/210216/1/moto3-vazquez-wins-miller-marquez-slug-it-out-at-sepang.html|title=Vazquez wins - Miller, Marquez slug it out at Sepang|first=Lisa|last=Lewis|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|date=26 October 2014|access-date=29 December 2014}} Championship leader Álex Márquez finished only fifth, reducing his championship lead over Miller to eleven points.{{cite news|url=http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2014/Sepang+Race+Moto3+Vazquez|title=Vazquez wins at Sepang as Moto3 title fight goes on to Valencia|work=MotoGP.com|publisher=Dorna Sports|date=26 October 2014|access-date=29 December 2014}} Post-race, Marquez's Estrella Galicia 0,0 team protested the results and the riding manner of Miller, riding for the rival Ajo Motorsport team. Race directors ultimately decided that no further action was warranted.{{cite news|url=http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/210233/1/moto3-estrella-protest-against-miller-kent-rejected.html|title=Estrella protest against Miller, Kent rejected|first=Peter|last=McLaren|work=Crash.net|publisher=Crash Media Group|date=27 October 2014|access-date=29 December 2014}}
