Mandalika Sprint Race: New 2026 MotoGP World Championship standings
New 2026 MotoGP World Championship standings after Saturday's Indonesian Sprint race at Mandalika, round 17 of 22.
Marc Marquez takes the MotoGP World Championship lead after a surprise victory in Saturday's dramatic Mandalika Sprint.
The reigning champion emerged from the first turn chaos behind title rival Jorge Martin, but the Aprilia rider later let him into the lead, presumably due to tyre pressure issues.
Martin looked set to respond until a moment on the penultimate lap dropped him to fourth place, meaning his two-point pre-Sprint title lead has turned into a four-point deficit to Marc Marquez.
Team-mate Marco Bezzecchi's DNF is a further blow to his fading world championship hopes...
