Marc Marquez arrives at this weekend’s Qatar Grand Prix with his first chance to win the 2026 world title, as he holds a 44-point lead over the injured Jorge Martin.

Marquez needs to extend his championship lead to 74 points by the end of the weekend to be crowned champion.

But it’s unclear how this weekend will unfold, with major uncertainty hanging in the air due to the threats of the US war with Iran escalating in the coming days.

Five riders are confirmed to be absent from Qatar, with Yamaha pulling both of its teams in a stunning move last weekend.
