As my friend and colleague Neil Morrison pointed out to me after the sprint race at the Mandalika International Circuit, Mandalika is just one of those places where weird things happen. Jorge Martin crashing out of the lead in the sprint race in 2024. Or indeed Jorge Martin crashing out of the lead of the GP in 2023. Marc Márquez' Gresini Ducati catching fire in 2024. Pecco Bagnaia going from winning at Motegi to being dead last in the sprint race in 2025. The first race in 2022, when riders were being peppered with stones from the asphalt tearing up. The organizers calling in a shaman to help chase away the rain that drenched the circuit that year.

Marco Bezzecchi won the MotoGP World Championship race Sunday afternoon at Pertamina Mandalika Circuit, in Indonesia. Riding his Aprilia Racing RS-GP26 on Michelin control tires, the Italian rider won the 27-lap race by 4.260 seconds.

Raul Fernandez was the runner-up on his SuperFile Trackhouse Aprilia RS-GP26.

Bezzecchi's teammate, Jorge Martin placed third. 

Fernandez's teammate, Ai Ogura crossed the finish line fourth.

Pedro Acosta took fifth on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing RC16.

Jorge Martin leads the championship with 355 points, 2 ahead of Marc Marquez who has 353 points. Marco Bezzecchi is third with 309 points.

More, from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Bezzecchi beats Fernandez in Mandalika as Martin returns to championship summit. The Italian keeps his title hopes alive with a first victory since Mugello, with Aprilia making history in Indonesia to see Marc Marquez finish outside of the top five. 

300 MotoGP wins for Italy. A history-making Aprilia top-four lockout. And a first victory since the Italian Grand Prix for Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing). That result, after the drama bubbled over in the Mandalika cauldron on Saturday, was desperately needed as Bezzecchi claws back crucial ground in the championship chase. Second place went to the heroic Raul Fernandez (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team), who, despite two broken fingers, climbed onto the podium, while Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) pocketed P3 to retake the World Championship lead after Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) came home in P6.

THE START

Unlike in the Tissot Sprint, Turn 1 in the Grand Prix was attacked and negotiated without incident. Bezzecchi lunged up the inside of Fernandez to try and gobble up the holeshot and take the lead, but the Italian was slightly wide on the exit to allow the polesitter back through. Marc Marquez got away well, the Sprint winner was an early P3, with 2025 Indonesia winner Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) getting the better of Martin to grab P5, and then P4 from Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team).

Martin then picked his way past Di Giannantonio to move up to P5, before the fast-starting Aldeguer slipped out of contention at the tricky Turn 16 on Lap 2. That gave Martin a free pass to move into P4, but what wasn't a free pass was what came half a lap later.

Martin, on the inside of Marc Marquez at Turn 10, fired his Aprilia through to climb ahead of his title rival. It was P3 for Martin now, P4 for Marquez, with Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) now hunting the pre-race World Championship leader. And on Lap 4, Acosta set the fastest lap of the Grand Prix.

ACOSTA VS MM93, BEZ SHADOWS FERNANDEZ

It felt like it had been coming for a couple of laps, and sure enough, Acosta pounced on the championship leader. Teammates next year. No teamwork this year, though. Acosta lunged at Turn 10, super late on the anchors, but boy did he nail the pass. A moment on the front-end came through Turn 11 for Acosta, but the #37 held onto P4 to shuffle Marc Marquez back to P5, and in the clutches of Di Giannantonio.

At the front, Fernandez held Bezzecchi at bay by 0.5s, with Martin lapping 1.9s away from his teammate's rear Michelin tyre. It was as you were for a few laps before Bezzecchi netted the fastest lap of the Grand Prix, a 1:29.991, to begin adding some pressure to Fernandez. 0.4s was the slender gap, with Martin now 2.5s back.

On Lap 13, Marc Marquez was back ahead of Acosta. From the TV pictures, it looked like Acosta was forced to allow his 2027 teammate through, which seemingly meant tyre pressure problems were arising for the KTM star. Then, two laps later, the switch came at Turn 10. Was Marc Marquez now suffering from tyre pressure problems? Incredible.

Izan Guevara won the FIM Moto2 World Championship race Sunday afternoon at Pertamina Mandalika Circuit, in Indonesia. Riding his BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Boscoscuro on Pirelli control tires, the Spaniard won the 22-lap race by 3.570 seconds.

Championship point leader, Manuel Gonzalez was the runner-up on his Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP Kalex.

Daniel Holgado was third on his CFMOTO Power Electronics Aspar Team Kalex.

Gonzalez's teammate, Senna Agius fourth.

Daniel Muñoz took fifth on his Italtrans Racing Team Kalex.

American Joe Roberts, riding his OnlyFans American Racing Team Kalex, was involved in a crash at Turn 1 with four other riders and did not finish the race.

Manuel Gonzalez leads the championship with 265.5 points, 5.5 ahead of Izan Guevara who has 260 points. Ivan Ortola is third with 191.5 points.

More, from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Hat-trick hero: Guevara wins dramatic Mandalika battle as gap tightens to Gonzalez. The #28 capitalises on late heartbreak for race leader Escrig to make it three victories on the spin, but the #18 produces a fine comeback to lose just five points in Indonesia. 

How about that for a drama-drenched Moto2 race at the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia? Coming out on top, for the third time in a row, was red-hot Izan Guevara (BLU CRU Pramac Yamaha Moto2) as the title race gap between the Spaniard and Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) reduces further - but not by much. Gonzalez limited the damage done with a fine ride to P2, while after late heartbreak arrives for race leader Alex Escrig (KLINT Racing Team) on the penultimate lap, Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Power Electronics Aspar Team) - who was involved in a four-rider, red-flagged Turn 1 crash - ends his weekend with a return to podium ways.

As we went racing in Moto2, there was immediate drama at Turn 1. Four riders were down, including both CFMOTO Power Electronics Aspar Team riders in David Alonso and Holgado, with the latter tagging the back of his teammate into the opening corner to send the duo down. Alonso was brutally launched into the air, while Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team) had nowhere to go on the outside line and collected the stricken bike of Holgado's, sending the American sliding down the road too. Collin Veijer (Red Bull KTM Ajo) was then left with no option but to run into the barrel-rolling, out-of-control Kalex-Triumph of Alonso, which caused Veijer to crash at Turn 1 too.

Thankfully, all four riders were able to return to the pit lane and were relatively unscathed after the red flags were shown. Unfortunately for Alonso, with the fuel tank being ripped out in the crash, amongst other significant bike damage, his Sunday in Indonesia wouldn't be restarted. Rotten luck for the Colombian. There were better fortunes for Holgado, Roberts, and Veijer though - all three left pit lane in time to take up their spots on the restart grid, but Roberts then peeled back into the box before lights out. Clearly something wasn't quite right on the American's machine, and we subsequently learned it was a rear brake problem. Just like Alonso, a slice of terrible luck for Roberts.

There were no such issues for Escrig, though. The Spaniard grabbed the holeshot to dip his wheels ahead of Guevara at the start, with Holgado third before Ivan Ortola (QJMOTOR - JP Financial - MSI) battled past the #96. That changed hands again on Lap 2 with Gonzalez pouncing up to P6, then P5, as we clicked onto Lap 3.

By Lap 6, a clear top five had formed. Escrig led Guevara by 0.8s, Holgado held P3 and sat 0.8s behind Guevara's rear tyre, with fourth place Ortola being caught by Gonzalez. And soon enough, P4 was now in the hands of the championship leader on Lap 7.

P4 became P3 for Gonzalez not too long after. Holgado didn't have the pace to remain in the podium-paying positions, and with five laps to go, the title race frontrunner sat in the bronze medal position. Three seconds up the road, Guevara was making moves too. No passes yet, but the #28 was beginning to reel in race leader Escrig.

But Escrig did then pick up the pace on Lap 12 of 14. We were about to strap in for a proper fight for the win in Indonesia between Escrig and Guevara for the win, before a technical issue halted Escrig's Lombok stormer. Cruel in the extreme. Escrig's wonderful weekend ended with a woeful bit of luck, and that allowed Guevara to take over the P1 baton.

And he didn't flinch. A hat-trick of wins for Guevara, as the gap to Gonzalez comes down again - but only by five points as the #18 bounces back from a disappointing Saturday to earn 20 crucial points in this compelling title chase. 6.5 points now the margin.

Third went to Holgado after Escrig's technical problem, and after his Turn 1 crash, his rollercoaster Sunday ends on a high. Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) was another rider, like his teammate, who delivered a classy comeback ride on Sunday. The Australian clinched P4 from P13 on the grid, with Daniel Muñoz (Italtrans Racing Team) closing out the top five ahead of Ortola.

Filip Salač (OnlyFans American Racing Team) crossed the line in P7, 1.6s clear of Alonso Lopez (ITALJET Gresini Moto2), Tony Arbolino (REDS Fantic Racing), and Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Tech3) - those were the riders closing out the top 10 in Indonesia.

A weekend off arrives before this compelling Moto2 title race revs back into life at Phillip Island. See you there.

The #28 seals the deal with a win - get to know the newest Moto3 World Champion and future Moto2 star after a landmark season. 

Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) is the 2026 Moto3 World Champion! The #28 has shown incredible pace and expert racecraft all season to secure the crown, sealing the deal with a stylish win at the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia. He's only the fourth rider in history to ever win a Championship - in any class - with five races remaining, alongside Marc Marquez, Giacomo Agostini and Mike Hailwood.

A STAR IN THE MAKING

Quiles, born in 2008, began his racing career at a young age, making headlines on minibikes before climbing through the Spanish ranks. The #28's talent was clear, as he found himself in the MotoJunior paddock, making his European Cup debut in 2021. Incredible. The only word that comes close to describing his rookie season. Three victories, five podiums and plenty of encouraging signs. Backing that pace up the following two seasons, Quiles returned to the top step in 2022 before setting up a title attack in 2023. The Spanish star joined Aspar, winning five times and proving he was the real deal; the #28 took the 2023 European Cup crown.

There was a change of scenery in 2024 as he made the step up to the Moto3 Junior World Championship. Quiles impressed instantly, winning at the season finale and clinching third in the standings. Alongside his efforts in the MotoJunior paddock, he raced in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup for three seasons. Finishing third in the Championship on two occasions and picking up seven wins from his time in the class, Quiles' name wasn't far from the headlines. Aspar had seen enough, signing the #28 for the 2025 season - Quiles was Moto3 World Championship bound.

Maximo Quiles won the FIM Moto3 World Championship race Sunday morning at Pertamina Mandalika Circuit, in Indonesia. Using his Pirelli-shod CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team KTM, the Spaniard won the 20-lap race by 2.994 seconds.

David Almansa was the runner-up on his Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP KTM.

Red Bull KTM Ajo's Brian Uriarte was third, 5.156 seconds behind race winner Quiles.

Matteo Bertelle crossed the finish line fourth on his LEVEL UP - MTA KTM.

Rico Salmela got fifth on his Red Bull KTM Tech3 machine.

Maximo Quiles leads the championship with 351 points, 132 ahead of David Almansa who has 219 points. Brian Uriarte is third with 203 points.

More, from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Quiles crowned Moto3 World Champion with Mandalika victory. The sensational 18-year-old is the latest young talent to life the World Championship with a stunning five rounds to spare. 

The Championship race is over as victory for Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) secured the World Champion for the Spaniard. A glittering campaign of ten wins so far, he led from Lap 2 onwards, pulled out an advantage and never looked back for one of his most dominant wins of the season ahead of nearest challenger David Almansa (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) and Brian Uriarte (Red Bull KTM Ajo).

From P2 on the grid it was a perfect launch to grab the holeshot for Almansa whilst Quiles was already into P2 on Lap 1. However, it was a barnstorming second lap that saw the gloves really come off, with Quiles in the lead as Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) battled his way into the podium places. The rough and tumble was starting to fragment the group and Almansa was the rider who was paying the price; with title rival Quiles leading, Almansa was down to P8.

On Lap 3, it was Grand Prix done for Casey O'Gorman (SIC58 Squadra Corse) who crashed at Turn 5, whilst teammate Leo Rammerstorfer joined him in a separate incident. Further round the lap, Ryota Ogiwara (CODE Motorsports) came to grief whilst back in the lead pack, Almansa was back into P2 by Lap 5. A mistake by Quiles at Turn 16 gave the chasing pack hope, the gap to chief title rival Almansa down to 1.6s.

Half GP distance complete and things had started to spread out with Quiles 1.5s clear of Almansa, Fernandez and Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) who in-turn were 1.6s clear of Rico Salmela (Red Bull KTM Tech3). On Lap 11, disaster for Carpe who tagged the back of Fernandez and crashed at Turn 10 and although the #31 could continue, he was back in the group behind and then made a mistake at Turn 2 a lap later. More drama at the end of the lap, this time for Adrian Cruces (CIP GreenPower) who crashed at Turn 16 but was able to rejoin.

Lap 14 and two seconds out front, Champion-designate Quiles picked up a track limits warning, the #28 had no room for error. With a 2.8s advantage with two laps to go though, he had the margin to relax and keep it wheels in line, despite Almansa's efforts.

Across the line and doing it in the most Quiles style possible, the Championship leader became the World Champion with a tenth victory of the season and with five rounds remaining. A magnificent campaign going to a deserving World Champion whilst Almansa was a solid second and strengthens his grasp on P2 overall. Third went the way of Brian Uriarte (Red Bull KTM Ajo) after the Spaniard pounced to pass Matteo Bertelle (LEVELUP-MTA) on the final lap.

Maximo Quiles: meet the 2026 Moto3 World Champion!

Salmela matched his career-best result in fifth ahead of home-hero Veda Pratama (Honda Team Asia), whereas Guido Pini (Leopard Racing) resisted teammate Fernandez for P7 at the line but due to a shortcut at Turn 9, was given a Long Lap Penalty equivalent so was P8 in the end. Joel Esteban (LEVELUP-MTA) was ninth whilst Scott Ogden (CIP GreenPower) completed the top ten.

Quiles taking the title with five rounds remaining puts him in an exclusive club of riders who have done that across all classes. Mike Hailwood, Giacomo Agostini and Marc Marquez were the only three that had managed it but now, Maximo Quiles' name is part of a unique club of riders.

The title race is done but with five rounds still to go, plenty of battles remain in 2026!

Yamaha has secured the 2026 FIM Supersport World Championship Manufacturers' Title at Estoril, adding another milestone to its long-standing history in the category and claiming its 12th Manufacturers' Championship. The achievement marks Yamaha's second consecutive WorldSSP Manufacturers' title, following its success in 2025.

Three riders have contributed points to Yamaha's 2026 championship tally: Albert Arenas (AS BLU CRU Racing Team), Lucas Mahias (GMT94 Yamaha), Can Oncu (Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing), and  Roberto Garcia (GMT94 Yamaha) . Arenas has been Yamaha's highest-scoring rider so far this season, with the Spanish rider claiming three race victories aboard the YZF-R9. Now crowned WorldSSP Champion, Arenas helped AS BLU CRU Racing Team and Yamaha complete a clean sweep of the Riders', Teams' and Manufacturers' Championships, with all three titles secured in Race 1 at Estoril.

Yamaha's first WorldSSP Manufacturers' Championship came in 1999, the inaugural season of the category, and the Japanese manufacturer has remained a constant presence in the championship ever since. More than two decades later, Yamaha's YZF-R9 has delivered another Manufacturers' title, continuing the manufacturer's successful legacy in WorldSSP.

Michael van Zomeren, Marketing & Motorsport Director, Yamaha Motor Europe: "A huge congratulations to Albert Arenas on securing the WorldSSP title in his very first attempt! It has been an exemplary season for him. The R9's continued success in the FIM Supersport World Championship further underlines its position as the leading middleweight Supersport machine. Winning the title in its first season was a huge statement, but to come back and defend the Riders' and Manufacturers' crowns makes that achievement even more significant and further demonstrates the capability of the R9 as a complete Supersport package.

Credit must go to our teams, AS BLU CRU Racing, Pata Yamaha Ten Kate Racing and GMT94 Yamaha, and their riders for their hard work, commitment and determination throughout the season. A big congratulations also goes to our Motorsport Division for all their hard work in keeping the R9 at the top of the WorldSSP standings, and for putting together a rider line-up that has delivered such an incredible result."

The post Yamaha Secures 2026 WorldSSP Manufacturers' Title appeared first on Roadracing World Magazine | Motorcycle Riding, Racing & Tech News.

The Spanish rookie secured his second World Championship, six years after his 2020 Moto3 title. 

Albert Arenas has secured the 2026 FIM Supersport World Championship at the Circuito Estoril, adding to his 2020 Moto3 crown and becoming only the second rider, after Sandro Cortese, to win world titles in both categories.

Arenas also joins an elite group of riders to win the WorldSSP title in their rookie season immediately after competing in Moto2, following Sandro Cortese (2018), Andrea Locatelli (2020) and Dominique Aegerter (2021).

Arenas took control of the championship early in the season, moving into the lead at the opening round after securing his first WorldSSP victory in Race 2 at Phillip Island. The title battle remained closely contested, with Jaume Masia taking over at the top of the standings before Arenas reclaimed the championship lead in Hungary. From there, the AS BLU CRU Racing Team rider maintained his advantage through the remainder of the campaign before sealing the title at the Tissot Estoril Round Round.

With three races remaining, Arenas holds a 89-point advantage over his closest challenger, Valentin Debise (EASTROC ZXMOTO Evan Bros Factory). His title-winning campaign has so far included 3 victories, and 16 podium finishes, underlining his immediate impact in his first WorldSSP season.

Albert Arenas, AS BLU CRU Racing Team: "It has been super special to come up and start from Race 1, get the first victory, then fight for the lead of the championship and be able to be so consistent. It feels so good and so special to give this title to my team. They did an incredible job throughout the whole season, and it's amazing to see the hard work they've put in, also for Yamaha. I'm super happy about the achievement and, of course, we have three more races and we'll focus 100% on trying to deliver more performance, but it was a nice, nice championship."

A second World Championship

Arenas first made his mark in international competition in 2011 before progressing through the European Moto3 Championship and into the Moto3 World Championship.

During five seasons in Moto3, Arenas collected four victories and eight podium finishes, culminating in his first World Championship title in 2020. He moved to Moto2 the following year and spent five seasons in the intermediate class before making the switch to WorldSSP for 2026.

His move to the production-based championship immediately reignited his title-winning form. After taking his first WorldSSP victory at Phillip Island, Arenas established himself as a consistent front-runner and ultimately became a World Champion once again in his rookie campaign.

More, from a press release issued by MotoGP:

Fernandez clinches maiden MotoGP pole, Marc Marquez and Martin off front row. A fascinating qualifying unfolds in Indonesia as Bezzecchi and Di Giannantonio join the SuperFile Trackhouse star on the front row. 

For the first time in MotoGP, Raul Fernandez (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team) will launch from pole position as a tantalising qualifying scrap unfolds at the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia. It's an Aprilia 1-2 at the spearhead of the grid thanks to Marco Bezzecchi's (Aprilia Racing) efforts, the Italian 0.109s adrift of Fernandez's 1:28.852, and denying Jorge Martin (Aprilia Racing) and Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) a front row start on Lombok was a rather rapid birthday boy on Saturday morning - Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) the rider to join Fernandez and Bezzecchi on the front row.

Q1: ALDEGUER & OGURA JUMP TO Q2 IN DRAMA-FILLED QUALI OPENER

Straight out of the qualifying crate, 2025 Indonesian GP winner Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) set his best lap of the weekend to top the early running in the opening 15-minute time attack stint, before his time was beaten by Ai Ogura (SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team). A 1:29.729 saw the Japanese rider rise above Aldeguer by 0.016s before Aldeguer returned to P1 by 0.090s, as Ogura then crashed in the closing stages at Turn 12 to see his session end prematurely. And sitting in P2, would Ogura keep his Q2 promotion place?

It was a session of attrition in Q1. Johann Zarco (Castrol Honda LCR), who crashed on his first flying lap at Turn 1, and Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) crashed at Turn 2 within a second of each other. Elsewhere, Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3) hit the deck at Turn 1, and Diogo Moreira (Pro Honda LCR) was also a crasher at the opening corner too.

All of this did mean Ogura kept his top two place, with Aldeguer sailing through too. A quick shoutout too for Toprak Razgatlioglu (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP). Less than an hour after dislocating his right shoulder in FP2, the Turk qualified less than a second off Aldeguer's top time in Q1. Chapeau.

Marco Bezzecchi led MotoGP World Championship Free Practice Two (FP2) Saturday morning at Pertamina Mandalika Circuit, in Indonesia. Riding his Aprilia Racing RS-GP26 on spec Michelin tires, the Italian rider turned a lap time of 1:29.560 to lead the 22-rider field.

Raul Fernandez was the best of the rest with a 1:29.734 on his SuperFile Trackhouse Aprilia RS-GP26.

Marc Marquez was third at 1:29.871 on his Lenovo Team Ducati Desmosedici GP26.

Fabio Di Giannantonio finished the session fourth with a 1:29.919 on his Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team Ducati Desmosedici GP26.

Bezzecchi's teammate, Jorge Martin got fifth with a lap time of 1:29.948.
