Spaniard Jorge Martin produced an ice-cool ride to finish third in the season-ending Barcelona GP on Sunday, which was good enough to secure him a first MotoGP world championship title.

Jorge Martin’s MotoGP world title triumph saw the Pramac Ducati rider overcome the might of defending champion Francesco Bagnaia and the factory Ducati squad. While it was a far from flawless campaign,

Marc Marquez (2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019) and Joan Mir (2020), Jorge Martin is only the fifth rider from Spain to win a premier class title. In addition, his success this year marked the first for a rider with a satellite team since Valentino Rossi won the last 500cc title in 2001 with the Nastro Azzurro Honda team.

Jorge Martin clinched the 2024 MotoGP World Championship after finishing third at the Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona. The title decider was initially slated to be held at Valencia, but was shifted to the new venue after the region experienced catastrophic flooding.
