What's at stake for MotoGP at the Japanese GP in Motegi?
xCruzo Brief
The 2026 MotoGP Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi—starting the Asian flyaways—puts the title race into a decisive phase with five rounds remaining. Jorge Martín leads the standings with 306 points, holding a 12-point edge over Marc Márquez. Martín, coming off a Sprint win and second place at Austria, has never raced the Aprilia RS-GP at Motegi across a full weekend, after missing last year due to injury following an incident with teammate Marco Bezzecchi in Turn 1. Márquez arrives chasing records: he is the most successful active rider at Motegi with five wins across classes and three in the premier class, tied at three GP victories with Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Loris Capirossi.
