An interesting weekend in Qatar saw Marc Marquez (Ducati) take a big step towards securing the 2026 MotoGP championship.
Saturday’s Sprint saw Marc Marquez take the win ahead of Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati) in second place and Jorge Martin (Aprilia) in third. Marc Marquez and Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) came together in a corner early in the race with Marquez staying upright, while Bezzecchi crashed out (unhurt).
In Sunday’s main event, Bezzecchi, starting from pole position, led the race from the start to take the win ahead of Marc Marquez in second and Raul Fernandez (Aprilia) in third.
With just two rounds remaining, Marc Marquez, barring some unusual event, is very likely to clinch the 2026 championship at the next race in Portugal in two week’s time.
