🏁 MotoGP San Marino 2026: Marc Márquez conquers Misano and takes the lead in the World Championship

Date: 13/09/2026

The 2026 San Marino Grand Prix delivered one of the most exciting weekends of the season at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. Marc Márquez once again enjoyed a perfect weekend, winning the Sprint on Saturday and the main race on Sunday to claim his second consecutive double victory after his success in Aragón.

The Ducati Lenovo rider's victory is also hugely important for the championship. Marc is now level with Jorge Martín on 274 points and moves into first place in the standings thanks to the tiebreaker based on the number of wins. Márquez now has five Grand Prix victories this season, compared with one for Martín.

The highlights of the Grand Prix

🥇 Marc Márquez reigns supreme once again in Misano

Marc Márquez once again showed that he is going through one of his best periods of the season. After winning Saturday's Sprint, the Ducati rider also claimed victory in Sunday's race to complete another double.

The race began with Marco Bezzecchi leading from pole position, but the Italian rider crashed in the early laps while leading the race. The incident completely changed the course of the race and allowed Márquez to take control.

Marc managed his advantage perfectly over the final laps and crossed the finish line ahead of his brother Álex Márquez and Pedro Acosta. With this victory, Marc reaches 78 MotoGP victories and returns to the top of the World Championship standings.

🏆 Marc Márquez regains the World Championship lead

The result in Misano completely changes the championship picture. Marc Márquez and Jorge Martín are now level on 274 points, but the Ducati rider takes first place thanks to his greater number of victories.

• 👑 Marc Márquez regains the World Championship lead.
• ⚔️ Márquez and Martín are tied on 274 points.
• 🏆 Marc has 5 Grand Prix victories.
• 🥈 Jorge Martín has 1 victory this season.
• 📉 Marco Bezzecchi remains third with 241 points.

Márquez's comeback is particularly impressive considering that at one point this season he was more than 100 points behind the championship leader. With eight Grands Prix still remaining, the title fight is now completely open.

💥 Bezzecchi misses a huge opportunity

Marco Bezzecchi had made the perfect start to Sunday. The Aprilia rider secured pole position and also set a new outright lap record at Misano with an impressive time of 1:29.982.

However, his race ended prematurely after he crashed in the early laps while leading the race. The Italian therefore missed a great opportunity to score valuable points at his home Grand Prix and has lost ground in the championship fight.

Bezzecchi remains third in the overall standings with 241 points, 33 points behind the two championship leaders.

🥈 Álex Márquez completes a historic podium

Álex Márquez produced one of the outstanding performances of the day. The Gresini rider finished second after starting the race from ninth position.

Álex took advantage of the pace of his Ducati and a race marked by numerous crashes to move steadily up the field and reach the podium. He eventually finished just over half a second behind his brother Marc.

The result was also particularly significant as it came at the circuit dedicated to Marco Simoncelli and during one of Álex's final races with the Gresini colours.

🥉 Pedro Acosta returns to the podium

Pedro Acosta completed the Misano podium after an excellent race. The Red Bull KTM rider finished third and once again demonstrated his ability to fight at the front against Ducati and Aprilia.

Acosta finished ahead of Fermín Aldeguer and Jorge Martín, while also collecting important championship points. With this result, the KTM rider reaches 209 points and maintains fifth place in the overall standings.

🇪🇸 An all-Spanish Top 6

One of the most remarkable aspects of the San Marino Grand Prix was the dominance of the Spanish riders. The six leading finishers were all Spanish, marking a historic achievement in MotoGP.

• 🥇 Marc Márquez
• 🥈 Álex Márquez
• 🥉 Pedro Acosta
• 4️⃣ Fermín Aldeguer
• 5️⃣ Jorge Martín
• 6️⃣ Raúl Fernández

The Spanish performance was particularly impressive given that the Grand Prix was held on Italian soil, with Aprilia and Ducati both featuring several local riders among the main favourites.

⚠️ Jorge Martín finishes fifth and loses the championship lead

Jorge Martín endured a difficult race. The Aprilia rider even briefly took the lead, but his pace began to drop during the second half of the race and he eventually finished in fifth position.

Martín later explained that he suffered a physical problem with his right arm, which particularly affected him under braking and during acceleration. Despite the result, he remains level with Marc Márquez on 274 points and is still fully involved in the title fight.

💥 Another difficult Sunday for Bagnaia

Francesco Bagnaia once again endured a difficult weekend. The Ducati rider was unable to fight for the leading positions and eventually failed to finish after suffering a crash.

It is another setback for the Italian rider, who has now recorded four retirements in his last five races and remains well away from the leading positions in the championship.

🚀 Marc Márquez completes another perfect weekend

Marc Márquez leaves Misano as the big winner of the weekend. The Ducati rider won both the Saturday Sprint and the main race on Sunday, scoring the maximum number of points available.

The San Marino double, following his Aragón double, confirms the Spaniard's spectacular run of form. Márquez has gone from being a long way off the championship lead to now sitting at the top of the World Championship standings.

With 274 points, the championship is completely level with Jorge Martín, while Marco Bezzecchi remains third with 241 points. The battle for the title promises to be thrilling over the coming races.

📌 Other notable results

• Marc Márquez won both the Sprint and Sunday's race.
• Álex Márquez finished second to claim another podium.
• Pedro Acosta finished third and completed the podium.
• Fermín Aldeguer finished fourth.
• Jorge Martín finished fifth and lost the World Championship lead.
• Raúl Fernández finished sixth.
• Fabio Di Giannantonio finished seventh.
• Enea Bastianini finished eighth.
• Luca Marini finished ninth.
• Fabio Quartararo completed the Top 10.

The San Marino Grand Prix therefore leaves the championship completely open, with Marc Márquez and Jorge Martín level on 274 points and Marco Bezzecchi still in contention from third place.

2026 MotoGP World Championship Standings (after San Marino)

After the San Marino GP, Marc Márquez and Jorge Martín are tied on 274 points, but the Ducati rider leads the championship thanks to his greater number of victories. Marco Bezzecchi is third with 241 points, while Fabio Di Giannantonio and Pedro Acosta complete the Top 5.

The next Grand Prix will be the Austrian GP, which will take place at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg from 18 to 20 September 2026. The battle for the World Championship heads to Austria completely open, with Márquez and Martín level at the top of the standings.

🏁 MotoGP 2026: The World Championship arrives in Misano at boiling point with Martín, Márquez and Bezzecchi separated by just 24 points

Date: 10/09/2026

The 2026 MotoGP World Championship arrives this weekend at one of the most important venues of the season. The San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix, which will take place from 11 to 13 September at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, will be the fourteenth round of the championship and arrives with the title battle completely open.

After Marc Márquez’s spectacular double victory in Aragón, the Ducati rider has moved up to second place in the standings and reduced the gap to Jorge Martín to 19 points. Behind him, Marco Bezzecchi is just 24 points behind the championship leader and will face a very special race in front of his home crowd.

In addition to the championship battle, the last few days have brought important news ahead of MotoGP 2027, with several moves confirmed that are beginning to shape a completely renewed grid for the new era of 850cc motorcycles.

🔥 Martín, Márquez and Bezzecchi: a World Championship at boiling point

👑 Jorge Martín remains in the lead

Jorge Martín arrives in Misano as the World Championship leader with 256 points. The Aprilia rider has a 19-point advantage over Marc Márquez and 24 over Marco Bezzecchi.

The result in Aragón allowed Márquez to claw back a significant number of points, so Martín heads into the San Marino Grand Prix aiming to regain ground and prevent Ducati from closing the gap to the championship lead even further.

Misano is also a circuit that holds good memories for the Spanish rider. In 2023, he achieved a spectacular double victory at this venue and knows the demands of the Italian circuit perfectly.

🔥 Marc Márquez arrives on a roll

Marc Márquez is the main protagonist of the last few races. The Ducati rider won both the Saturday Sprint and the main race on Sunday in Aragón, completing a perfect weekend.

The double victory allowed him to move into second place in the championship and significantly reduce the gap to Martín. Now, the eight-time world champion’s objective is to continue this progression and try to reclaim the championship lead.

Misano is also one of the circuits where Márquez has achieved some of his best results, making Ducati once again one of the major favourites.

🇮🇹 Bezzecchi wants to win in front of his home crowd

Marco Bezzecchi faces one of the most special Grands Prix of the year. The Aprilia rider will be racing at home and arrives third in the overall standings with 232 points.

He is just 24 points behind Martín, meaning that a victory in Misano could completely change the championship picture.

Bezzecchi is also enjoying one of the best periods of his season, while Aprilia has demonstrated that it has a bike capable of challenging Ducati at virtually every circuit.

🚀 Pedro Acosta returns to the spotlight

One of the riders who left the strongest impression in Aragón was Pedro Acosta. The KTM rider finished second after an intense battle with Marc Márquez and once again showed that he can fight for victories despite the performance gap between the different manufacturers.

The result further strengthened Acosta’s reputation as one of the great riders of MotoGP’s future. The Spaniard has also already confirmed one of the most important moves on the 2027 grid.

From next season, Acosta will be Marc Márquez’s teammate at the official Ducati Lenovo team, forming one of the strongest and most high-profile pairings of the new MotoGP era.

🔄 MotoGP 2027: the rider market enters its final stages

🇮🇹 Nicolò Bulega will make the jump to MotoGP with VR46

The biggest news of the last few days has been the official announcement of Nicolò Bulega as the new rider for the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team for 2027.

The Italian will make the jump from WorldSBK to MotoGP and will share the team with Fermín Aldeguer aboard a Ducati Desmosedici GP.

Bulega is enjoying a spectacular season in Superbike and currently leads the championship after securing 26 victories in the 27 races contested. His arrival in MotoGP also marks his return to a structure with which he has maintained a very special relationship since the beginning of his motorcycle racing career.

The Italian rider was part of the VR46 Riders Academy and has already had MotoGP experience as a Ducati test rider, meaning he will enter his first full-time season with valuable previous experience.

👋 Franco Morbidelli leaves VR46

Bulega’s arrival also means the departure of Franco Morbidelli from the VR46 Racing Team at the end of the 2026 season.

Morbidelli thus brings to an end a nine-season spell in MotoGP, during which he achieved three victories and six podium finishes. Everything points towards the Italian rider continuing his career in WorldSBK.

⚠️ Ai Ogura will not race in Misano

One of the latest pieces of news is the confirmation that Ai Ogura will not participate in the San Marino Grand Prix.

The Japanese rider has still not fully recovered from the thumb injury to his left hand that he suffered during training and was also unable to compete in the Aragón Grand Prix.

Ogura will continue with his recovery, with the aim now being to return at next week’s Austrian Grand Prix. The SuperFile Trackhouse team will compete in Misano with Raúl Fernández as its only rider.

🇪🇸 Pol Espargaró returns to action in Misano

Another piece of news for the weekend will be the return of Pol Espargaró, who will once again replace Maverick Viñales at the Tech3 team.

Viñales continues to recover from the left shoulder injury that has prevented him from competing for a large part of the season. Pol Espargaró will therefore make his third appearance of the year after competing at Silverstone and Aragón.

The Spanish rider will aim to take advantage of the opportunity to score points and continue contributing his experience to the KTM project.

🏁 2026 San Marino GP Preview

Everything is ready for one of the most eagerly awaited Grands Prix of the season. The Misano Marco Simoncelli circuit will host the fourteenth round of the MotoGP World Championship from 11 to 13 September.

The big question will be whether Marc Márquez can continue his comeback and move even closer to Jorge Martín, or whether the Aprilia rider will be able to respond and maintain a sufficient advantage at the top of the championship.

Between them will also be Marco Bezzecchi, who will have the support of the Italian fans and arrives determined to take every opportunity to establish himself firmly in the title fight.

🔥 A completely open championship standings

• 🥇 Jorge Martín – 256 points
• 🥈 Marc Márquez – 237 points
• 🥉 Marco Bezzecchi – 232 points
• 4️⃣ Fabio Di Giannantonio – 208 points
• 5️⃣ Ai Ogura – 203 points

With only 24 points separating the top three, any mistake, crash or victory could completely change the standings.

🌦️ The weather could play an important role

The forecasts point to changing weather conditions throughout the weekend, with a possibility of rain until Saturday and drier conditions for Sunday’s race.

In such a closely contested championship, any change in track conditions can become a decisive factor and alter the teams’ strategies.

🏆 Everything is at stake in Misano

The San Marino Grand Prix arrives at a decisive moment in the season. Jorge Martín, Marc Márquez and Marco Bezzecchi are separated by just 24 points and any result could change the championship lead.

While Martín will attempt to defend first place, Márquez will look to extend the momentum he started in Aragón, and Bezzecchi will have the opportunity to fight for a particularly important victory in front of his home fans.

With Ducati and Aprilia as the main protagonists, KTM trying to close the gap to the front and the 2027 grid already beginning to take shape, Misano promises to be one of the most important Grands Prix of the entire 2026 season.

The World Championship is entering a decisive phase and the title battle has never been more open.

🏁 MotoGP Aragón 2026: Marc Márquez completes a double at MotorLand and closes in on Jorge Martín

Date: 30/08/2026

The spectacular MotorLand Aragón circuit once again provided the setting for an unforgettable Grand Prix. Marc Márquez dominated the weekend with a convincing victory in Saturday’s Sprint and another win in Sunday’s main race, completing another Aragón double.

The Ducati rider also took advantage of Jorge Martín’s fifth-place finish to significantly reduce the gap in the World Championship standings. After the Aragón Grand Prix, the Aprilia rider remains at the top of the championship, but his advantage over Márquez has been reduced to just 19 points.

Grand Prix highlights

🥇 Marc Márquez dominates Aragón once again

Marc Márquez (Ducati Lenovo) once again showed why MotorLand Aragón is one of his favourite circuits. The Spanish rider won both the Saturday Sprint and Sunday’s main race, completing a perfect weekend.

In Sunday’s race, Márquez had to overcome a difficult start after accidentally activating the rear device on his Ducati. However, he quickly recovered positions and eventually took victory after an intense battle with Marco Bezzecchi and Pedro Acosta.

With this victory, Márquez now has eight wins at MotorLand Aragón, further establishing himself as one of the circuit’s greatest specialists.

🏆 Jorge Martín retains the World Championship lead

Jorge Martín experienced a more difficult weekend than expected. The Aprilia rider finished fifth in both Sunday’s race and Saturday’s Sprint, but managed to retain the championship lead.

• 🥉 Pole position for Marco Bezzecchi.
• 5️⃣ Fifth place for Jorge Martín in the race.
• 👑 Martín remains at the top of the World Championship.
• 📉 His advantage over Marc Márquez is reduced to 19 points.

Despite losing ground to Márquez, Martín remains in a strong championship position and still has every chance of fighting for the title.

🥈 Pedro Acosta surprises and takes second place

Pedro Acosta produced one of Sunday’s outstanding performances. The KTM rider finished second after an intense battle with Marc Márquez for much of the race.

Acosta managed to close in on the Ducati rider during the final laps, but ultimately had to settle for an excellent second place. The result also represents another podium for the Spanish rider and confirms his ability to fight against Ducati and Aprilia in a championship dominated by both manufacturers.

🥉 Marco Bezzecchi finishes third after an excellent qualifying

Marco Bezzecchi started Sunday’s race from a privileged position after securing pole position and setting a new outright MotorLand lap record with an impressive time of 1:44.962.

The Aprilia rider fought for victory during the opening laps but eventually finished third behind Márquez and Acosta.

The Italian remains in the championship battle and now occupies third place behind Jorge Martín and Marc Márquez.

👬 Álex Márquez finishes fourth

Álex Márquez enjoyed a solid Grand Prix at MotorLand and finished fourth in Sunday’s race, just behind Bezzecchi.

The Gresini rider remained in contention for the leading positions for much of the race, although he was ultimately unable to reach the podium. His result nevertheless allows him to continue collecting valuable points in the overall standings.

⚠️ Difficult weekend for Raúl Fernández

Raúl Fernández was unable to reproduce the excellent performance he showed at Silverstone. The Trackhouse rider experienced problems during the race and was ultimately unable to finish, after taking eighth place in Saturday’s Sprint.

The Spaniard therefore missed a good opportunity to make further progress in the championship standings.

💥 Bagnaia struggles once again in Aragón

Francesco Bagnaia endured another difficult Sunday. The Ducati rider was unable to fight for the leading positions and finished outside the top places, as he continues to search for better confidence and feeling with the Desmosedici.

The result once again highlights the significant difference in performance between Ducati’s two riders during this stage of the season.

🚀 Marc Márquez fully returns to the title fight

The double victory in Aragón completely changes the championship picture. Marc Márquez scored a significant number of points and moved into second place in the overall standings, considerably reducing the gap to Jorge Martín.

With several Grands Prix still remaining, the championship is more open than ever. Martín retains the lead, but Márquez and Bezzecchi are getting closer and closer.

📌 Other notable results

• Pedro Acosta finished second and secured another podium for KTM.
• Marco Bezzecchi finished third after starting from pole position.
• Álex Márquez finished fourth.
• Jorge Martín finished fifth and retained the championship lead.
• Fermín Aldeguer produced a strong race and finished sixth.
• Fabio Di Giannantonio finished seventh.

The Aragón Grand Prix leaves us with an increasingly exciting championship, with Jorge Martín, Marc Márquez and Marco Bezzecchi separated by just a few points and everything still to play for.

🏁 MotoGP heads to Aragon: Aldeguer returns as Marini prepares for 2027

The Aragon Grand Prix is ready to welcome MotoGP back from 28 to 30 August at MotorLand Aragón, with Fermín Aldeguer's return, Luca Marini's future plans and an increasingly intense championship battle among the main storylines of the weekend.

After two weekends without racing, the MotoGP World Championship returns to action this weekend with the Michelin® Grand Prix of Aragon. MotorLand Aragón will host the thirteenth round of the season at a crucial moment in the fight for the title. Jorge Martín arrives as championship leader with a 31-point advantage over Marco Bezzecchi.

🇪🇸 Fermín Aldeguer prepares for his return

One of the main stories of the weekend will be the return of Fermín Aldeguer. The Spanish rider will return to competition after missing the latest races due to the injury he suffered at the Dutch Grand Prix.

The Gresini rider has worked hard over the past few weeks to regain his physical condition. Before his return, Aldeguer got back on a bike at the Cartagena Circuit, completing a training session aboard a Ducati Panigale V2. The aim was to regain his confidence and arrive at MotorLand in the best possible shape.

The Spaniard also arrives in Aragon with extra motivation following the confirmation of his future in MotoGP. Fermín Aldeguer will join the Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team from 2027, racing for the team during the 2027 and 2028 seasons on a factory Ducati Desmosedici GP and becoming an official Ducati Corse rider.

🟡 Luca Marini, a new project for 2027

Another rider at the centre of the latest MotoGP news is Luca Marini. The Italian has confirmed his future for 2027 and will begin a new chapter in MotoGP with KTM Tech3 after three seasons with Honda.

Marini will join the Austrian structure as MotoGP enters a new era in 2027, with the introduction of 850cc machines. The new technical regulations will bring significant changes to the grid, while Tech3 will also undergo a major transformation in its rider line-up.

In the meantime, Marini heads into the Aragon Grand Prix as one of the most consistent riders of the season. The Italian is currently tenth in the championship with 86 points and is the only rider to have scored points in every race held so far.

🏍️ Everything is ready for the Aragon Grand Prix

MotorLand Aragón is preparing to welcome fans and MotoGP teams for one of the most eagerly anticipated weekends of the season. The Grand Prix will take place from 28 to 30 August, maintaining the usual three-day competition format.

Action will begin on Friday 28 August with practice sessions for Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP. Saturday will see riders battle for the best starting positions before the Tissot MotoGP Sprint at 15:00. The main races will take place on Sunday, with the MotoGP race scheduled to start at 14:00 on Sunday 30 August.

In addition to Aldeguer's return, Johann Zarco could also make his comeback after suffering an injury at the Catalan Grand Prix. However, the French rider will first have to pass the mandatory medical check on Thursday before receiving final clearance to compete.

🔥 An increasingly intense title fight

The championship arrives at MotorLand in a highly competitive situation. Jorge Martín currently leads the standings with a 31-point advantage over Marco Bezzecchi, while Ai Ogura, Marc Márquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio remain close behind in the battle for the top positions.

With five riders separated by just 41 points, every result could significantly change the overall standings. Aragon therefore represents an excellent opportunity for the chasing riders and another major test for the championship leader.

MotorLand Aragón is ready. MotoGP returns to Aragon and the championship enters another decisive phase. The action begins on Friday and reaches its climax on Sunday with the MotoGP race.

🏁 MotoGP Aragon 2026: Bastianini changes direction, Pol Espargaró returns and MotorLand prepares for a decisive weekend

The MotoGP World Championship returns to action this weekend with the 2026 Aragon Grand Prix, a race that promises plenty of excitement both on and off the track. After two weeks without racing, the championship returns to the spectacular MotorLand Aragón circuit in Alcañiz for another battle in a season that is already entering its second half.

The Grand Prix also arrives with important developments in the rider market. One of the biggest stories of recent days has been the official announcement of Enea Bastianini joining Trackhouse Racing for 2027, while the Aragon grid will welcome back Pol Espargaró, who will replace Maverick Viñales at Tech3.

🔴 Enea Bastianini joins Trackhouse for 2027

The MotoGP rider market continues to take shape, and one of its key pieces has now found its destination. Enea Bastianini will race for Trackhouse Racing from the 2027 season onwards, in a move that will see him join Aprilia's satellite structure.

The Italian rider will therefore leave the KTM Tech3 structure after two seasons and embark on a new project that coincides with one of the biggest technical changes in recent MotoGP history: the arrival of the new 850cc motorcycles and the other regulatory changes planned for 2027.

Bastianini will share the garage with Raúl Fernández, forming a line-up that combines experience and youth. The Italian joins Trackhouse with the aim of rediscovering the form that allowed him to achieve outstanding results during his time with Ducati.

The signing will also have important consequences for the future of the grid. Ai Ogura will leave Trackhouse at the end of the 2026 season to begin a new chapter with Yamaha, while Bastianini will become one of the riders expected to bring valuable experience to the Aprilia and Trackhouse project in this new MotoGP era.

🇪🇸 Pol Espargaró returns to MotoGP competition in Aragon

Another major story ahead of the Grand Prix is the return of Pol Espargaró to the MotoGP grid.

The Spanish rider has been chosen by Tech3 to replace Maverick Viñales, who is continuing his recovery from a left shoulder injury that has forced him to miss several races this season.

Pol Espargaró recently returned to competition at the British Grand Prix and will now have another opportunity to ride the Tech3 KTM in front of the Spanish fans. His experience will be particularly valuable for a team that needs to continue gathering information and achieving results during the second half of the championship.

Pol's return will also allow Spanish fans to once again see one of the most experienced riders on the grid competing at a circuit he knows very well.

🔥 MotorLand Aragón takes centre stage once again

The 2026 Aragon Grand Prix will take place from 28 to 30 August at MotorLand Aragón. The Alcañiz circuit is one of the most spectacular tracks on the calendar and has traditionally produced races packed with overtaking, battles right down to the final lap and unpredictable results.

The event will also be particularly important for the championship battle. Jorge Martín arrives in Aragon as the overall championship leader, having extended his advantage to 31 points following the British Grand Prix.

However, the situation remains wide open: several riders are separated by relatively small gaps, and there are still plenty of points available before the final stages of the season.

🏆 A championship entering its second half

MotorLand will mark the beginning of an intense final phase of the championship. After Aragon, the calendar will begin to accelerate towards Valencia, with several decisive races still to come.

For Jorge Martín, the objective will be to maintain his advantage in the standings. For his main rivals, Aragon represents another opportunity to close the gap and keep the title fight alive.

There will also be particular attention on riders such as Marc Márquez, Pedro Acosta, Marco Bezzecchi, Álex Márquez, Raúl Fernández and Ai Ogura, who enter the second half of the championship with different objectives and plenty still to prove.

📅 This is how the 2026 Aragon Grand Prix will unfold

The action will begin on Friday 28 August with the first MotoGP sessions. Saturday will feature one of the most eagerly awaited moments of the weekend with qualifying and the Sprint race, while Sunday will be dedicated to the main MotoGP race.

For fans travelling to Alcañiz, the Grand Prix will offer much more than just the racing. Throughout the weekend, MotorLand will host activities for fans, rider appearances, live music and different entertainment options around the circuit.

🏍️ Everything is ready for another spectacular weekend at MotorLand

With an increasingly competitive championship, another major move in the rider market and Pol Espargaró's return to the grid, the Aragon Grand Prix arrives with plenty of storylines to follow.

MotorLand is once again opening its doors to MotoGP at a crucial point in the season. Jorge Martín will defend his championship lead, his rivals will look to close the gap, and Enea Bastianini will begin to look towards the end of his KTM chapter before starting a new adventure with Trackhouse in 2027.

Everything is ready for a weekend of racing, excitement and spectacular action in Alcañiz. See you at MotorLand! 🏁🏍️🔥

🏆 MotoGP 2026: A Very Tight Championship Where Every Detail Could Decide the Title

Date: 18/08/2026

The 2026 MotoGP World Championship is entering its decisive phase in a situation rarely seen before. After the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the standings remain extremely close, with five riders separated by just 41 points.

Jorge Martín heads into the final part of the season as championship leader, but Marco Bezzecchi, Ai Ogura, Marc Márquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio remain very close behind. With ten Grands Prix still to come, a crash, a mechanical problem, a strategic mistake or simply the wrong tyre choice could completely change the complexion of the championship.

🔥 A Championship That Will Be Decided by the Smallest Details

👑 Jorge Martín, Leader but with No Room for Error

Jorge Martín has managed to take the championship lead thanks to exceptional consistency throughout the season. His performance at Silverstone, with a Sprint victory and a second-place finish in Sunday's race, allowed him to strengthen his position at the top of the standings.

However, his rivals remain very close. With 240 points, Martín has a 31-point advantage over Marco Bezzecchi, but there are still many races left to contest.

The Aprilia rider will need to maintain one of the key factors that have taken him to the top: scoring points at virtually every Grand Prix and avoiding scoreless finishes.

⚔️ Bezzecchi, Ogura and Márquez: The Pressure Is Rising

Marco Bezzecchi currently occupies second place with 209 points and has established himself as Martín's main challenger. The Italian has shown throughout the season that he has the pace required to fight for victories and podium finishes.

Behind him, Ai Ogura has 203 points. The Trackhouse rider is one of the championship's biggest revelations and remains fully involved in the title fight.

Marc Márquez, with 200 points, has not said his final word either. Despite a difficult weekend at Silverstone, the Ducati rider still has every mathematical chance and will head into the upcoming races determined to recover valuable points.

📊 Five Riders Separated by Just 41 Points

The standings show just how tight the championship is:

The gap between first and fifth place is just 41 points. In addition, the importance of Sprint races is becoming increasingly significant: Jorge Martín also leads this classification with 75 points, just one point ahead of Marc Márquez.

💥 One Crash Can Change Everything

In such a closely contested championship, scoreless results take on enormous importance. A crash that prevents a rider from scoring points can turn a 20- or 30-point advantage into just a few points in a single race.

The season has already demonstrated this on several occasions with some of the riders who have occupied the championship lead. Mistakes, injuries and technical problems have had a direct impact on the standings.

That is why, in this second half of the championship, finishing races will be almost as important as winning them.

🛞 Tyres, Strategy and Conditions: The Small Details

The title fight will not depend solely on outright speed. Tyre choice, tyre degradation management, weather conditions and race strategy can create small differences which, by the end of the season, could amount to several dozen points.

Silverstone demonstrated this once again. While Raúl Fernández claimed a brilliant victory for Trackhouse Aprilia, Jorge Martín scored important points with a second-place finish that could prove significant in the championship battle.

🏁 Aragón, the Next Championship Battle

The championship will now move to MotorLand Aragón, a particularly important circuit for several title contenders.

The Aragón round will be the first opportunity for the chasing riders to close the gap and for Martín to try to extend his advantage. In such a closely contested championship, every position can be hugely valuable.

🔢 Plenty of Points Still Up for Grabs

With ten Grands Prix still to come, the championship is far from decided. A strong run of two or three races could completely change the order of the top five.

The title fight will not necessarily be decided by the number of victories, but by who makes the fewest mistakes and manages to maintain consistency as the pressure increases.

📌 The Keys to a Championship Battle That Could Go Down to the Wire

The 2026 MotoGP World Championship is therefore entering its most exciting phase. Jorge Martín has an advantage, but nobody can consider themselves champion yet. Bezzecchi, Ogura, Márquez and Di Giannantonio are close enough to change the situation at any moment.

In a championship where the margins are so small, every overtake, every tyre choice, every fast lap and, above all, every point could ultimately prove decisive.

The championship will not be decided by major differences. It will be decided by the details.

🏁 Marc Márquez talks about his arm as MotoGP prepares a spectacular 2027 presentation in Rio de Janeiro

Date: 12/08/2026

The return of Marc Márquez after the summer break has brought renewed attention to his physical condition, particularly the ongoing recovery of his right shoulder. At the same time, MotoGP is already looking ahead to 2027, with the official presentation of the new season confirmed for the spectacular city of Rio de Janeiro.

The highlights

💪 Marc Márquez admits his arm is still a limitation

Marc Márquez acknowledged that his right shoulder is still recovering and that this continues to force him to adapt his riding style. The Ducati rider explained that he is not yet able to attack in the same way at every circuit.

Despite this limitation, Márquez has noticed physical improvements and greater control of the bike over a single lap. However, he continues to work towards recovering his full physical performance.

🗣️ “I am the favourite”

Back from the summer break, Marc Márquez arrived at Silverstone with his characteristic confidence and sense of humour. When asked about his chances in the title fight, the Spanish rider responded confidently: “I am the favourite.”

Márquez believes the championship has given him a “second chance” after being more than 100 points behind the leader earlier in the season. With five riders separated by only a handful of points, the title fight remains incredibly open.

⚠️ A difficult weekend at Silverstone

The British Grand Prix did not, however, deliver the result Márquez was hoping for. The reigning champion finished seventh in Sunday's race and admitted that he had not managed to extract the maximum from his Ducati.

Márquez took responsibility for the result and did not blame either the bike or the tyres. The result cost him 22 points compared with championship leader Jorge Martín, who now holds a 40-point advantage over him.

🇧🇷 MotoGP 2027 will be presented in Rio de Janeiro

The choice of Rio de Janeiro is no coincidence. The presentation will take place at Botafogo Beach, one of the city's most iconic locations, combining the spectacle of MotoGP with Brazil's passion for motorsport and its spectacular natural surroundings.

The event will also highlight the growing importance of the Brazilian market for MotoGP, offering fans a unique opportunity to experience the championship outside the traditional European venues.

🏁 MotoGP Silverstone 2026: Raúl Fernández triumphs and Jorge Martín extends his Championship lead

Date: 09/08/2026

The legendary Silverstone circuit delivered a spectacular return to MotoGP after the summer break, with a weekend marked by Aprilia's dominance, Raúl Fernández's victory in Sunday's race and another important step forward for Jorge Martín in the fight for the World Championship.

The highlights of the Grand Prix

🥇 Raúl Fernández conquers Silverstone

Raúl Fernández (Trackhouse Aprilia) produced one of the weekend's outstanding performances by securing a convincing victory in the British Grand Prix. The Spanish rider led virtually from the start and crossed the finish line 2.54 seconds ahead of Jorge Martín.

This was Raúl Fernández's second MotoGP victory, making the result particularly significant after his crash in Saturday's Sprint.

🏆 Jorge Martín strengthens his Championship lead

The Aprilia Racing rider enjoyed an excellent weekend, taking victory in Saturday's Sprint before finishing second in Sunday's main race.

• 🥇 Victory in Saturday's Sprint.
• 🥈 Second place in Sunday's race.
• 👑 Extends his lead at the top of the World Championship.

Martín also took advantage of problems suffered by some of his main rivals to increase his advantage in the standings and now sits 31 points ahead of Marco Bezzecchi.

🥉 Marco Bezzecchi returns to the podium

Marco Bezzecchi enjoyed an excellent weekend after struggling with physical problems in recent weeks. The Italian finished third in both the Sprint and Sunday's race, securing his first Sunday podium since his victory at Mugello.

The result allows him to climb back up the standings and take second place in the World Championship.

⚠️ A difficult weekend for Ai Ogura

Ai Ogura arrived at Silverstone as one of the main title contenders, but a crash during Sunday's race left him without any points. The Trackhouse rider had finished second in the Sprint, but he lost ground in the championship battle and drops to third place in the standings.

💥 Marc Márquez loses ground

Marc Márquez experienced a difficult weekend with a Ducati that failed to find the expected level of performance at Silverstone. The eight-time World Champion finished seventh in Sunday's race after taking ninth place in the Sprint.

The result drops him to fourth place in the championship, although he still has mathematical chances in a season that remains completely open.

🚀 Aprilia, the star of the weekend

Aprilia was clearly one of the major protagonists of the British Grand Prix. The Italian manufacturer placed Jorge Martín, Marco Bezzecchi and Raúl Fernández among the leading riders in both races of the weekend, once again demonstrating the competitiveness of its bikes.

📌 Other notable results

• Álex Márquez finished fourth in Sunday's race.
• Pedro Acosta produced a solid performance and crossed the finish line in fifth place.
• Fabio Di Giannantonio finished sixth.
• Francesco Bagnaia once again endured a difficult weekend and was unable to make up ground in the championship.

The British Grand Prix therefore leaves us with an increasingly exciting World Championship, with Jorge Martín, Marco Bezzecchi, Ai Ogura, Marc Márquez and Fabio Di Giannantonio still involved in the fight for the title.

2026 MotoGP Championship Standings (after Silverstone)

After Silverstone, Jorge Martín leads the World Championship with 240 points, 31 points ahead of Marco Bezzecchi. The battle for the title remains completely open.

The next round will be the Aragón GP, which will take place at MotorLand Aragón from 28 to 30 August 2026.
