Lap times from the Sprint at the 2026 MotoGP Brazilian Grand Prix in Goiania.

Marc Marquez took victory in the Sprint at Goiania, his first MotoGP win of the season.

He beat Fabio Di Giannantonio, who led most of the race after making the holeshot from pole position, but made a mistake at turn 12 with three laps to go that allowed Marquez into the lead, and it was a mistake from which he could not recover despite spending the entirety of the final two laps glued to Marquez's rear wheel.

Jorge Martin was 3.5 seconds off the win in the end but he scored his first podium of any kind with Aprilia in third place, a position he inherited after Marco Bezzecchi ran wide at turn nine.

Bezzecchi didn't have the pace for the podium but took fourth place, finishing ahead of Ai Ogura in fifth on the third Aprilia.

Fabio Quartararo took a strong sixth place on the V4 Yamaha for the bike's first top-10 in MotoGP.

Alex Marquez, Francesco Bagnaia, and Pedro Acosta rounded out the points scoring places, Acosta's solitary point for ninth being enough to hold on to the championship lead by two points over Bezzecchi.

Qualifying

Fabio Di Giannantonio took pole position in Brazil, beating Marco Bezzecchi after both riders came through Q1.

Both also crashed on Saturday morning, and both at turn four. Bezzecchi's came in FP2, only 15 minutes before Q1 was due to start, while Di Giannantonio's came in Q2 but crucially after he'd set the time that got him pole position.

Marc Marquez was another rider to crash at turn four, and also in Q2. He crashed a lap after Pedro Acosta crashed at turn four just a few metres ahead of Marquez on-track, but while the current MotoGP points leader ended up ninth at the end of qualifying, Marquez was third and on the front row.

Fabio Quartararo took a remarkable fourth for Yamaha, the Aprilias of Jorge Martin and Ai Ogura who join him on the second row.

Fermin Aldeguer impressed, too, with seventh in his first qualifying of the season. He beat his teammate Alex Marquez who was eighth, ahead of Acosta.

Francesco Bagnaia was another Q2 crasher, the Italian going down on his first flying lap. Yellow flags cost him a couple of laps on his final run, and he qualified 11th, between Johann Zarco and Toprak Razgatlioglu on the fourth row.
