GP Spain 2026, what will the weather be like? Sunny race, but risk of rain in qualifying

Back in Europe

A month after the last championship race held at the Austin circuit, the MotoGP World Championship will stop this weekend in Jerez de la Frontera for the first seasonal event on European soil, as well as the first of four scheduled in Spain. In Andalusia, the challenge for the leadership of the Riders’ standings, currently occupied by Marco Bezzecchi, will thus reignite, followed by his official Aprilia team teammate Jorge Martin, who will be able to take advantage of the support of the home crowd despite not being a great lover of this track.
