Our 2026 MotoGP season predictions
About this episode
The episode discusses predictions for the 2026 MotoGP season, including potential title fights and performance improvements.
This might not be the most unpredictable season MotoGP has ever gone into, but there is very good reason to expect a much more open and intriguing 2026 campaign compared to 2025 - as Simon Patterson, Val Khorounzhiy and Matt Beer explain on The Race MotoGP Podcast. Why some form of title fight is potentially on and who’ll be giving Marc Marquez the most headaches is our main topic, and we also make our predictions for who’ll make the biggest improvement over 2025 and who’ll go in the other direction. Plus Matt has a few ‘one-line-only answers’ curveball prediction questions for Simon and Val too.
