Marc Marquez finished as runner-up at the Qatar Grand Prix, delaying his pursuit of an eighth MotoGP world championship. The Spanish rider, who claimed his first premier-class title in 2013, crossed the line behind race winner Marco Bezzecchi, with Raul Fernandez completing the podium on November 8, 2026.
The result leaves Marquez waiting for another opportunity to secure the championship crown as the 2026 season progresses.
