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.

“I still can't believe it, I'm in shock!” Jorge Martin wrote his name into the history books as the first Independent rider to win a title in the MotoGP era after a tense season finale in Barcelona on Sunday.
