ROUND 20 / NOVEMBER 6-8, 2026 LOSAIL INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT / DOHA, QATAR ROAD RACE I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P76 27 IKER LECUONA 9TH/10TH MOTOGP "I'm physically drained, but I have to thank the team for another amazing weekend," Iker Lecuona said. "I'm pleased with how things went: points yesterday and a top-10 finish today. My race pace was really strong, although I lost some time in the early stages fighting with other riders and working my way through the field. In the end, we managed to collect some valuable points. I leave Qatar feeling like a better rider, and that's all thanks to this team and the incredible sup- port they've given me." 96 JAKE DIXON 16TH/14TH MOTOGP "It's great to get points on our debut, more than I could have hoped for when I was on the plane over here," Jake Dixon said. "I went wide at turn one during the opening laps of the race, and I lost contact with the group—honestly, I was annoyed about it, because when I looked at the times after the race, I would have been able to stay with those guys. Seventy-four laps are all we had this weekend, that's what these riders usually do in a single day of testing, so we need to be happy and enjoy this moment— what a great experience it has been. It's all gone too quickly!" MYOWNRACE After an early tussle, Marc Marquez (93) got the better of Fabio Di Giannantonio Sprint, the latter overhauling Martin (89) on the final lap for second. Bezzecchi (72) rips away from pole to Sunday to grab the holeshot. Marquez (93) went into early conservation mode and dropped back, eventually moving past Raul Fernandez (25) to take second and set up a title chance in Portugal.
