MotoGP: Joan Mir moves to Gresini Ducati as Jorge Martín leads despite crash tally

Spanish rider Joan Mir confirmed he will join Gresini Racing Ducati for the 2027 season after a turbulent 2026 campaign with Honda. The 2020 world champion has recorded 15 crashes so far, yet says he remains "hungry" and determined to keep fighting for better results.

Meanwhile, compatriot Jorge Martín, riding for Aprilia, sits atop the 2026 MotoGP championship standings despite registering a season‑high 16 crashes, the most of any rider. His resilience has allowed him to maintain the lead as the season reaches its midpoint.
