Le Mans Sprint: New 2026 MotoGP World Championship standings
New 2026 MotoGP World Championship standings after Saturday's Le Mans Sprint race, round 5 of 22.
Marco Bezzecchi's world championship lead has been cut to six points after victory for Aprilia team-mate Jorge Martin in the 2026 Le Mans Sprint race.
Martin won his second Sprint of the season from Ducati's pole qualifier Pecco Bagnaia, while Bezzecchi limited the championship damage with his best Saturday result of the season.
Further back, KTM's Pedro Acosta has taken over third in the world championship from Fabio di Giannantonio after the VR46 rider got a poor start and later crashed.
Diggia remains Ducati's leading rider while a nasty highside for reigning champion Marc Marquez leaves the Spaniard 51-points behind Bezzecchi.
Alex Marquez is now just two points behind his brother.
Rain is forecast for Sunday's grand prix...
