MotoGP, Sportrik Media - Jorge Martin delivered a commanding performance to win the 2026 French MotoGP Sprint Race at Le Mans on Saturday (9 May 2026), giving Aprilia Racing a crucial victory over its Ducati rivals.
Martin controlled the race from the opening laps and maintained a strong pace throughout the sprint distance to secure an important win in the early stages of the 2026 MotoGP championship fight.
Francesco Bagnaia of the Ducati Lenovo Team finished second after failing to close the gap to Martin during the final laps, while championship leader Marco Bezzecchi completed the podium in third position for Aprilia.
Pedro Acosta secured fourth place for Red Bull KTM, ahead of home favourite Fabio Quartararo, who completed the top five for Monster Yamaha.
