It's probably not the first thing he thought of, but it's not insignificant. This Sunday, November 17, at the finish of the Barcelona Grand Prix, Jorge Martin was able to celebrate the first world champion title of his career, at the age of 26. The Spanish driver defeated Francesco Bagnaia, despite 11 victories for the Italian driver this season.

In addition to the honors of his first world champion title, Jorge Martin will be able to enjoy a nice jackpot. In fact, the bonus for a MotoGP world champion amounts to 1.5 million euros. A sum to which the Ducati Pramac rider can add the €100,000 of his 3e place in the race on Sunday, but also €50,000 for having occupied the same position during the sprint race on Saturday.
A car for Francesco Bagnaia
Francesco Bagnaia, 2e of the championship, little consolation. On Saturday, for having won the most points in the sprint racing championship, he won a luxury car… A meager consolation prize compared to the winner's rewards, but one that cannot be refused.
