The Mandalika International Street Circuit on Lombok, the neighbouring island of the tourist hotspot Bali, was added to the MotoGP calendar in 2022. It was the first time in 25 years that a World Motorcycle Championship Grand Prix had been held in Indonesia. The last time the motorcycle stars raced there was in 1996 and 1997 at the Sentul Circuit.

The 4.3 km Mandalika circuit was completed in 2021, and in November of that year it hosted its first international event: the Superbike World Championship. Miguel Oliveira won the MotoGP debut in March 2022 in the rain. In 2023, Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati) won the Grand Prix, whilst in 2024 it was Jorge Martin (then still riding a Ducati) who took victory in Sunday’s main race. In 2025, then-rookie Fermin Aldeguer (Ducati) secured his first MotoGP victory. And Marc Márquez, who has never won in Indonesia, was forced off the track by Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) at last year’s Grand Prix.

Ahead of the race weekend in Indonesia, Jorge Martin (Aprilia) and Marc Marquez are separated by just two points in the overall standings. In the Constructors’ Championship, the two Italian manufacturers, Ducati and Aprilia, are level on points. MotoGP fans are set for a particularly thrilling season finale in 2026.

The Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP classes will be competing at the Indonesian Grand Prix. To ensure fans in Germany, Austria and Switzerland don’t miss a thing, they’ll need to get up early again this coming weekend – there’s a six-hour time difference compared to Central Europe. However, compared to the usual schedule, Sunday’s races will start an hour later than usual. The MotoGP main race is scheduled for 3 pm local time and will therefore take place – like Saturday’s sprint race – at 9 am CEST.
