Estrella Galicia Grand Prix of Spain -- Round 4 of the 2026 MotoGP World Championship
Circuit: Circuito de Jerez, Jerez, Spain 
| Date: Apr 24--26, 2026
The Circuito de Jerez is hallowed ground for motorcycle racing. This 4.423 km circuit in southern Spain has witnessed some of the sport's most iconic battles. The warm Andalusian conditions suit certain tire compounds, and the tight final chicane has been the scene of countless last-lap dramas. The passionate Spanish crowd, the largest on the calendar, transforms race day into a fiesta.
The Road to Jerez
Round 4 brings the MotoGP paddock to the Circuito de Jerez in Jerez. With 3 rounds in the books, the championship battle has reached a critical juncture. Just 4 points separate Marco Bezzecchi from Jorge Martin at the top of the standings.
Behind the top two, Pedro Acosta (60 pts) remains firmly in the conversation, sitting 21 points off the lead with 19 rounds still to come. In a season this competitive, writing off anyone in the top five would be premature.
