Qatar: Lusail International Circuit to host MotoGP fest on April 12 next year
Doha: The Lusail International Circuit will once again reverberate with the sound of roaring engines when the regional motorsport hub hosts the 2026 MotoGP Grand Prix on April 12, organisers of the championship revealed yesterday. The 2026 MotoGP calendar features 22 thrilling Grands Prix across five continents, including four races in Asia, as the Lusail track gears up to host the sport's premier event for the 22nd time. Since 2004, the Lusail International Circuit has been an integral part of the MotoGP World Championship, often serving as the season opener under its iconic floodlights. The 5.4-kilometre-long circuit, which has provided thrilling night racing action since 2008, will be the fourth stop of the season, after Buriram in Thailand, Goiania in Brazil and Austin in the US. The 2026 MotoGP schedule marks Brazil's return to the calendar, replacing Argentina. The race at the Ayrton Senna Circuit in Goiania will be held on March 22, after the March 1 kickoff of the season at the Buriram Circuit. Brazil has previously hosted races between 1987 and 1989, while Argentina is set to organise a race again once a circuit is built near Buenos Aires. After the night lights of Lusail, the action moves to Jerez, Spain, marking the start of an exhilarating European leg. After the Jerez race on April 26, riders will compete in France (May 10: Le Mans), Spain (May 17: Catalonia), Italy (May 31: Mugello), Hungary (June 7: Balaton), Czech Republic (June 21: Brno), Netherlands (June 28: Assen), Germany (July 12: Sachsenring), Britain (August 9: Silverstone), Spain (August 30: Aragon), San Marino (September 13: Misano) and Austria (September 20: Spielberg).

Marquez wins Dutch MotoGP Grand Prix
Amsterdam – Saba: Spanish Ducati Lenovo rider Marc Márquez continued his grip on the MotoGP World Championship with victory on Sunday in the Dutch Grand Prix at the Assen circuit. The 32-year-old Marquez achieved his third consecutive victory and his sixth this season in the 10-round series of the championship, following previous wins in Thailand, Argentina, Qatar, Aragon (Spain), and Italy, according to Anadolu Agency. The six-time world champion raised his points tally to 307 points in first place, widening his lead to 68 points over his younger brother Alex Márquez, the Gresini Ducati rider, who finished second, and 181 points ahead of his teammate, Italian Francesco Bagnaia, who finished third. As Assen celebrated the 100th anniversary of the race, Marc, who started second on the grid, led on the second lap, with Italian Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia finishing second and his compatriot Francesco Bagnaia third. Bagnaia, a two-time world champion, had won the last three races in Assen, but despite an early lead, he dropped to fourth before recovering to claim the podium ahead of Spaniard Pedro Acosta of KTM. Márquez's closest rival for the title, his younger brother Alex Márquez, was eliminated after a collision with Pedro Acosta on lap six, which resulted in a fractured left hand and forced him to retire.

Motorcycling-Aprilia ready for courtroom showdown with MotoGP champ Martin over contract
FILE PHOTO: MotoGP - Solidarity Grand Prix of Barcelona - Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain - November 17, 2024 Prima Pramac Racing's Jorge Martin celebrates after winning the MotoGP World Championship REUTERS/Pablo Morano/File Photo (Reuters) -MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin's bid to escape his Aprilia contract looks set for a date in the courtroom, with the Italian manufacturer's boss Massimo Rivola declaring on Sunday that they are 'relaxed' about dragging the dispute before a judge. The simmering contract drama boiled over last month when Martin announced his intention to leave Aprilia ahead of the 2026 season, barely a week after the team insisted he honour the two-year agreement he had signed. The 27-year-old, who has raced in only one round this season due to injuries in a pre-season crash and at the Qatar Grand Prix, said he had exercised his right to release himself for the 2026 season. His manager Albert Valera had also said Martin is free of his contract for next year having triggered a clause but Rivola said that was not the case. "I think he's not going to be free for 2026," Rivola told TNT Sports at the Dutch Grand Prix. "In case we have to go to the court, the judge will take his position but we are quite, I say, relaxed about that." The dispute has also caught the attention of MotoGP organiser Dorna Sports, who took a firm stance on rider movement. Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta said they would not accept any rider entry unless a judge clears them to ride or both parties reach an agreement. "Now Aprilia says it has a contract in place with Martin while his manager, Valera, says he is free," Ezpeleta told Sky Italia. "For us to accept that, there is a need either for the two parties to come to an agreement or for a judge to decide the case." With Ducati out of the picture after they snubbed Martin last year, Honda may be an option but the Japanese outfit's manager Alberto Puig said they will not get involved until Martin reaches an agreement with Aprilia. "We can wait. Frankly speaking, it's a matter between Aprilia and Jorge," he said. "It must be clear. If he gets out of the contract, then we will understand. We are not in a super hurry. We will see what is the final resolution there." Meanwhile, Martin's physical recovery continues with Rivola revealing the Spaniard will run a test in Misano on July 9, targeting a return at the Czech Grand Prix in mid-July. "Having one race before the (summer) break would be good so mentally. Physically, he starts getting a bit of rhythm and then he knows that he has to push... Then to get the result will be a second step," he said. (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru;)
