Marc Márquez expects Misano to be “a little more complicated” than Aragón, with the Spaniard acknowledging that the MotorLand layout suits his riding style better. Even so, the Ducati rider remains confident he can perform strongly at the San Marino Grand Prix and the Riviera di Rimini this weekend.
The elder of the Márquez brothers dominated the Aragón GP and scored all 37 points available across the Sprint and Grand Prix. He now heads to a very different circuit, although Misano is far from a weak venue for him: Márquez has won there six times, while Ducati has taken eight victories at the Adriatic track.
“In Aragón, we scored the maximum points, and that was the goal,” Márquez said. “MotorLand is a circuit that suits my riding style well.”
“Here in Misano, it will be a little more complicated, but it’s still a track where I can try to perform at my best and push the Desmosedici to its maximum potential,” he added. “On top of that, there will be a lot of Ducati fans, which definitely gives you an extra boost.”
Márquez arrives in San Marino looking to maintain the momentum from Aragón as he continues his pursuit of the 2026 MotoGP title. After the Aragón weekend, Jorge Martín leads the championship with 256 points, while Márquez has 237, 19 points behind the Aprilia rider.
The 2026 MotoGP season resumes from September 11-13 with the San Marino Grand Prix and the Riviera di Rimini, the 14th round of the championship. GRANDE PRÊMIO will cover all the action from Misano, along with the other classes of the World Championship.
