2026 Brazil MotoGP: Full Schedule, Race-day start-times, Dates, How To Watch

 MotoGP Brazil Grand Prix 2026 Full Weekend Schedule, Race Dates How To Watch 

Pedro Acosta leads the MotoGP standings into Brazil’s first motorcycle grand prix round since 2004 after 1-2 finishes in the Thai season opener.

The KTM star took a debut Sprint victory after a late penalty for Marc Marquez, before finishing runner-up to Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi in the grand prix.

Bezzecchi had been the fastest rider for much of the weekend, but lost points when he fell from the lead of the Sprint.

Reigning champion Marc Marquez endured a character-building start to his title defence with the Sprint penalty followed by retirement from the grand prix with wheel rim damage.

That left Ducati without a rider on the grand prix podium for the first time since 2021.
