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.

This past Sunday, @88jorgemartin was crowned the 2024 @MotoGP World Champion.

Pramac Racing rider, Jorge Martin, clinched the MotoGP 2024 world champion title after a long battle with Francesco Bagnaia.

Bagnaia took the checkered flag for the 11th time this season, but it was not enough to wrest the title from the Spanish rider

Pole position, victory in Saturday's sprint, followed by a win at the Barcelona Grand Prix. First in 11 races of the season, plus seven short trials. But even the perfect weekend wasn't enough

Jorge Martin takes maiden MotoGP title despite championship rival Francesco Bagnaia winning the season-ending race in Barcelona.

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.

Five months after Jorge Martin was overlooked for the factory Ducati seat, the Spaniard will hop off its all-conquering Desmosedici bike as its best rider and move to Aprilia as MotoGP champion.

The 26-year-old, nicknamed the 'Martinator', also ensured that Ducati-Pramac became the first independent team to win the rider's title since Valentino Rossi in 2001, the final year of 500cc racing.
