Jorge Martín: "Fighting for the title against Marc Márquez would be special"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General2 September 2026 at 09:14

Jorge Martín, a 26-year-old Madrid-born rider, faces his last months at Aprilia with the goal of finishing as MotoGP world champion. The Spanish racer, who already conquered the title in 2024, dreams of achieving a double championship before leaving the Italian team.

Currently, Martín leads the World Championship, although his advantage has been significantly reduced after the double achieved by Marc Márquez at the Aragon Grand Prix. The difference between both riders is just 19 points, which keeps the competition completely open for the remaining races of the season.

The article presents statements from Martín himself, who considers that fighting for the title directly against Marc Márquez would be something special. The Aprilia rider hopes to arrive at the end of the season still with chances to defend his crown and thus achieve a second consecutive championship.
