With movie star looks, a penchant for the high life, and a daring racing style that leaves fans gasping at his audacity, Jorge Martin is something of a throwback to swashbuckling motorcycle racers of a bygone era.

Jorge Martin has secured the 2024 MotoGP World Championship title, becoming the first independent rider in the modern era to do so. Despite a strong challenge from Francesco Bagnaia, Martin's consistent podium finishes and strategic riding throughout the season earned him enough points to clinch the championship in the final race at Barcelona.
