The man nicknamed the Martinator delivered a commanding performance at the 2026 French MotoGP at Le Mans on 10 May.
Martin won the Grand Prix after also taking victory in the Sprint and fought back strongly to lead an historic all-Aprilia podium.
MotoGP ambitions
The 2024 MotoGP World Champion is second in the 2026 MotoGP Riders' standings with 127 points after five rounds.
Martin is just one point behind his Aprilia Racing teammate and championship leader Marco Bezzecchi.
Why Martin could win the 2026 Catalan MotoGP
Martin has shown exceptional racecraft, fighting spirit, and late-race pace on the Aprilia RS-GP this season.
With Aprilia’s current momentum and home support as a Spaniard at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, the 28-year-old will be poised to secure another victory and seize the championship lead.
