Jorge Martin Clinches First MotoGP World Championship

Martin's consistent performance throughout the season secures his title despite a final race win by Francesco Bagnaia.

Jorge Martin became the first independent rider to win the MotoGP World Championship in the modern era, finishing third in the season-ending Solidarity Grand Prix in Barcelona.
Francesco Bagnaia, who won 11 races this season, finished the final race in first place but could not surpass Martin's overall points lead.
Martin's triumph comes after a challenging career, including a severe crash in 2021 and narrowly missing the title in 2023.
Throughout the 2024 season, Martin demonstrated remarkable consistency, achieving 32 podium finishes in 40 races.
Martin will transition from Pramac Racing to Aprilia next season, leaving Ducati after being overlooked for a factory seat.
