Jorge Martín keeps second place in the MotoGP World Championship after the Australian GP
Published
Jorge Martín is second in the 2026 MotoGP World Riders' Championship standings after the Australian Grand Prix, held at Phillip Island. The Spanish rider remains very close to Marc Márquez in the fight for the title, although the Australian round was a difficult one for him.
Martín crashed during the race weekend at Phillip Island. This fall prevented him from scoring all the points he was looking for and affected his position in the race. Even so, the Spanish rider keeps a very competitive place in the overall standings.
The MotoGP World Championship still has many races ahead, so the points gap between the leading riders could change at the upcoming rounds. For Spanish fans, Martín's result is important, because the Madrid-born rider is one of the most prominent representatives of national motorcycle racing.
The 2026 season continues with a very tight competition among the top riders. The next Grands Prix will show whether Martín can win back ground on Márquez and keep his chances of becoming world champion.
