The all-time MotoGP Sprint winners' list after COTA
The latest all-time ranking for MotoGP Sprint race winners.
Jorge Martin's shock COTA victory moves him clear of Marc Marquez on the all-time list of MotoGP Sprint winners.
After Marquez tied Martin on 16 Sprint wins last weekend in Brazil, Martin's last-gasp first Aprilia victory broke a drought dating back to his 2024 title-winning season.
Only ten riders have won a MotoGP Sprint since the half-distance races were introduced on the Saturday afternoon of each grand prix weekend from the start of 2023.
Since then, three riders - Jorge Martin, Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia - have stood head and shoulders above the rest with a combined total of 46 Sprint wins.
Bagnaia was the world champion in 2023, Martin in 2024 and Marquez in 2025.
KTM's Pedro Acosta became MotoGP's newest Sprint winner at the 2026 Buriram season opener.
Although Sprints do not count as official Grand Prix wins, 'half points' are awarded: 12 points for victory, 9 points for second place, 7 points for third, down to 1 point for ninth place.
