The 2026 MotoGP season has already been one to cherish. Jorge Martin, who reigned supreme two years ago but had to sit much of the last campaign out with a variety of injuries, leads the riders’ championship midway through, but it’s been anything but straightforward.
The Spaniard’s Aprilia Racing teammate Marco Bezzecchi had roared out of the blocks with three straight Grand Prix victories followed by two runner-up finishes, but it’s all gone wrong in recent weeks. The 27-year-old Italian’s Sprint struggles were bad enough, and then he slapped a track marshal after a crash, earning himself a suspension.
Although Martin’s recent form hasn’t been great, it’s still been good enough to catapult him above Bezzecchi in the standings. Reigning seven-time champion Marc Marquez, meanwhile, has overcome a fractured foot to reaffirm his own ambitions.
Whereas consistency has put Fabio Di Giannantonio firmly in the frame, Ai Ogura is hoping to pull off something a little more extravagant. The SuperFile Trackhouse man become the first Japanese rider to win a MotoGP race since Makoto Tamada 22 years ago. Some 51 years have passed since a Japanese rider topped the MotoGP standings.
