Phillip Island Sprint Race: New 2026 MotoGP World Championship standings
New 2026 MotoGP World Championship standings after Saturday's Australian Sprint race at Phillip Island, round 18 of 22.
Marc Marquez retakes the MotoGP World Championship lead after victory in Saturday's Phillip Island Sprint was combined with a crash for title rival Jorge Martin.
Jorge Martin, who has lost the title lead to Marc Marquez by ten points, has been declared unfit for Sunday's grand prix due to a 'fracture of the right radius and a suspected fracture of the right ulna'.
Martin's Aprilia team-mate Marco Bezzecchi slips 50 points adrift in third. Only seven riders now remain in mathematical title contention, with Alex Marquez officially out of the running after a second-place finish in the Sprint.
A maximum of 173 points remain available.
