New 2026 MotoGP World Championship standings after Saturday’s Spanish Sprint race at Jerez, round 4 of 22.
After the chaotic Jerez Sprint race on Saturday, the top three positions in the 2026 MotoGP standings remain unchanged as Marco Bezzecchi, Jorge Martin, and Pedro Acosta failed to score.
However, race winner Marc Marquez has moved up to fourth place, overtaking Fabio di Giannantonio and closing the gap to Bezzecchi by 12 points.
Marquez’s teammate Pecco Bagnaia has also gained a position, displacing Alex Marquez, who slid down the rankings after encountering rain on slicks.
Brad Binder secured his best result of the season in fourth place but was left wondering what could have been after pitting early in the mid-race rain.
With 25 points available in Sunday’s grand prix, any of the top four riders in the championship could potentially leave Jerez with the lead.
