Starting grid for the 2026 Brazilian MotoGP race

After narrowly losing out to Marc Marquez in the Sprint, Fabio di Giannantonio gets another chance to capitalise on pole position in Sunday's Brazilian MotoGP.

The VR46 rider led until the penultimate lap of the delayed Saturday Sprint, when reigning champion Marquez pounced on a small mistake and claimed his first win of the season.

Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi, who lost out on a Sprint podium to team-mate Jorge Martin, will line-up between them on the front row.

Fabio Quartararo will be aiming to repeat his combative opening lap that saw the Monster Yamaha star rise from the head of row two to an early second place behind di Giannantonio.

Martin and fellow RS-GP rider Ai Ogura, fifth in the Sprint, start alongside the Frenchman.

Gresini's Fermin Aldeguer, making his 2026 debut after a pre-season femur injury, will need to avoid a repeat of his sideways start from seventh on the grid.

Team-mate Alex Marquez and title leader Pedro Acosta join Aldeguer on row three.

Johann Zarco, who crashed in the Sprint, starts as the leading Honda in tenth place, followed by Francesco Bagnaia and Toprak Razgatlioglu, who both bucked the trend by using the medium tyre in the Sprint.

Razgatlioglu’s fellow rookie and home hero Diogo Moreira rode from 14th to 10th in the Sprint.

The KTMs of Maverick Vinales, Brad Binder and Enea Bastianini complete the field.

There are currently no penalties.

The 31-lap grand prix starts at 3pm local time.
