The first half of the 2026 MotoGP season has wrapped up, with Marc Marquez emerging as the central figure in the title fight after winning the German GP. Crash.net notes the picture has changed in ways unthinkable just a month ago. His points gap to leader Jorge Martin has narrowed to 18, with momentum reportedly swinging toward Marquez heading into the summer break.

The first half is over, and momentum has swung toward Marquez. To me, his ride at the Sachsenring was flawless. That's a circuit of consecutive left-handers where weight transfer and throttle connection speak volumes. An 18-point gap is nothing this man's momentum can't swallow whole. Martin doesn't have a moment to let his guard down.

Isn't Martin the defending champion? Why's he losing pace?

Martin's coming back from injury this season too, it'll be tough unless he gets his condition sorted for the whole season.

Marquez getting fully back into the title fight is pure hype. A return to his prime?

An 18-point gap, huh. Since a race win's worth 25, a swing after the summer break is completely plausible.

18 points is basically a gap you can close in 2 races. The back half of the season's about to get really interesting.

It looked hopeless just a month ago. Honestly, isn't Martin losing pace way too fast?

Marquez is fully back! Closing to just 18 points behind Martin is so exciting.

'Full comeback' is overstating it. Germany's Sachsenring, a track Marquez is good at, prove it elsewhere.
