UPDATED 2026 Catalunya MotoGP Race Results after penalties

The final result for the 2026 Catalunya MotoGP has been significantly revised after five riders, including runner-up Joan Mir, received post-race penalties for low tyre pressure.

Moments after Fabio di Giannantonio won from Mir and Fermin Aldeguer, Ai Ogura was demoted from fourth to ninth by a three-second penalty for contact that sent Pedro Acosta down at the final corner.

Then came the message that Joan Mir (2nd), Pecco Bagnaia (4th), Alex Rins (11th), Jack Miller (14th, Toprak Razgatlioglu (15th) and Raul Fernandez (16th) were all under investigation for low tyre pressure in the 12-lap restarted race.

Pecco Bagnaia escapes penalty, gets podium

Five of those riders have received 16-second post-race penalties. However, Bagnaia has been cleared after his low pressure was deemed to be caused by a leaking wheel rim.

Aldeguer moves into second place on the revised results, while Bagnaia claims Ducati Lenovo's first Grand Prix podium of the season in third.

Title leader Marco Bezzecchi gains a place, for fourth.

Bezzecchi’s result rubs further salt into the wounds of team-mate and title rival Jorge Martin, left furious after crashing from an early second place due to contact from Trackhouse Aprilia rider Raul Fernandez.

Italics = Post-race penalty: Ogura +3.0s (causing a crash). Others +16-seconds (low tyre pressure).

Original Race Result:

A dramatic afternoon in Barcelona ends with Fabio di Giannantonio winning a twice-restarted Catalunya MotoGP.

With team boss Valentino Rossi looking on, di Giannantonio - riding in pain after being hit by debris from Alex Marquez’s earlier race-stopping accident - passed long-time leader Pedro Acosta with three laps to go.

"First of all, I really hope that everyone is safe," di Giannantonio said in parc ferme, after his first win since Qatar 2023.

Acosta lost further places to Honda’s Joan Mir and Fermin Aldeguer, who completed the podium, before being clipped by Ai Ogura during a pass at the final corner of the race and crashing out.

Post-race penalties

Ogura was later penalised by the FIM Stewards, costing him fourth, while six riders are under investigation for possible tyre-pressure penalties, including podium finisher Joan Mir and fourth place Pecco Bagnaia.

The initial race was halted on lap 12 after a shocking accident for Alex Marquez, who clipped the back of race leader Acosta after the KTM rider suffered a technical issue.

Marquez, described as conscious, was taken to hospital.

The restart saw another scary multi-rider incident when Johann Zarco crashed in the braking zone for Turn 1, taking down Pecco Bagnaia and Luca Marini.

Zarco became tangled in Bagnaia’s rear wheel as bikes and riders tumbled through the gravel trap.

Zarco is also ‘conscious’ and undergoing further treatment in the medical centre.

Friendly fire at Aprilia

The third restart saw drama of a different kind when Raul Fernandez clashed with fellow Aprilia rider Jorge Martin, leaving the title contender on the ground at Turn 5.

Martin’s fifth crash of the weekend occurred while holding second place behind Acosta, which would have put him on course to re-take the world championship lead from team-mate Marco Bezzecchi.

The FIM Stewards ruled not further action was needed.

An official post-race test, the last of the 1000cc era, takes place at the track on Monday.

Warm-up:

Joan Mir returns to the top of the timesheets during warm-up for the 2026 Catalan MotoGP.

The factory Honda rider, quickest in Saturday's final practice, could only qualify tenth and then didn’t get beyond turn one of the Sprint after being hit by Brad Binder’s fallen bike.

Mir finished Sunday's ten-minute warm-up 0.142s clear of Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo (13th in the Sprint) with Aprilia’s title leader Marco Bezzecchi in third.

Pole qualifier and Sprint runner-up Pedro Acosta was fourth for KTM, with Sprint winner Alex Marquez only 15th for Gresini Ducati.

Bezzecchi starts the race two points clear of team-mate Jorge Martin, who suffered his fourth crash of the weekend in the Sprint. Martin was twelfth in warm-up.

However, the emphasis in warm-up was on controlling tyre wear, already an issue in the Sprint and set to be a critical factor for the 25-lap grand prix.

All riders moved from the soft to medium rear tyre for warm-up, with a mix of soft and medium fronts.
