2026 MotoGP Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n

Austrian MotoGP<\/strong><\/p>\n

Red Bull Ring<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunday, 20 September 2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Following one of Alex Marquez’s most impressive races this season last time out, the Gresini Racing rider will once again eye a podium finish when he takes to the Austrian MotoGP<\/a> at the Red Bull Ring this coming weekend.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the younger brother of reigning MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez, Alex finished in second spot at the San Marino MotoGP on Sunday, just 0+657s behind his sibling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Marquez started the race in ninth following two crashes in qualifying and eventually reached the podium after tense battles alongside his teammate Fermin Aldeguer and Pedro Acosta.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As it stands, Marquez occupies eighth position on the Riders\u2019 standings with 153 points and one win to his name. His second-place finish at San Marino completed just his second podium of the campaign.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking after his San Marino MotoGP run, Marquez lauded his older brother by expressing that he \u2018played around\u2019 with his competitors at the Misano World Circuit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to get into that discussion. I never really had the chance to attack,\u201d Marquez said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHe managed the situation very well. When I passed Martin, I had a bit of an advantage and managed to get closer, but then he pulled away again. That one-tenth advantage he had, and that Bezzecchi would also have had if he had not crashed, was exactly the margin that allows you to play around a little on this track, and he knew it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHe is an experienced rider, he knows that when you get close the front tyre starts to suffer, which is why he played around with us a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
