Malaysian Grand Prix 2026 MotoGP rider rankings

The Malaysian Grand Prix served as a showcase for the battle between future Ducati team-mates Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta at Sepang. Acosta leveraged a strong KTM package to claim a sprint victory and a runner-up finish in the main grand prix, while Marquez secured a dominant weekend that places him on the brink of an eighth world championship.

Meanwhile, Ai Ogura put in a strong performance despite a collision and tyre management issues, and Johann Zarco emerged as the leading Honda competitor despite failing to finish the main race.
