Description

David Almansa won the 2026 Moto3 Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi today, holding off championship leader Máximo Quiles in a dramatic race to the line. Almansa, riding for the Intact GP team, started from pole position and claimed all 25 points after a defensive last lap, beating Quiles by a mere 0.046 seconds.
By finishing second, Quiles missed out on his first mathematical opportunity to seal the 2026 Moto3 World Championship, meaning his title celebration is delayed until at least next week's round in Indonesia.
