The MotoGP world championship heads to the Pertamina Mandalika International Street Circuit for round 17 of the 2026 season. The high-stakes Indonesian Grand Prix weekend is set to take place from October 9-11, bringing world-class motorcycle racing back to the challenging and picturesque tropical venue in Lombok.
The championship battle arrives in Indonesia at boiling point following a dramatic double victory for Marc Marquez at Motegi last weekend. Those maximum points slashed Jorge Martin's championship lead down to a razor-thin two points. Meanwhile, Marco Bezzecchi finished third in Japan but, alongside Pedro Acosta, now finds himself in danger of losing touch with the top two in a fiercely contested title fight.
Bezzecchi famously won last year's Indonesia Sprint from pole position, though his weekend ended dramatically after a collision in the Grand Prix. Meanwhile, Gresini rookie Fermin Aldeguer clinched a brilliant victory in the Indonesian Grand Prix, while the rest of the Ducati contingent struggled to manage the special heat-resistant rear tyre compounds required for the punishing track temperatures.
Given those historical tyre struggles and intense heat management factors, Aprilia will undoubtedly be hoping to strike back strongly at Mandalika this weekend. The action kicks off with free practice sessions on Friday, October 9, followed by final practice, qualifying, and the Sprint race on Saturday, October 10, before Sunday's warm-up and grand prix finale on October 11.
