How MotoGP points work
MotoGP races award points to the top 15 finishers, with 25 points for a win, down to 1 point for 15th. These points accumulate over the season, determining a rider's championship standing. Jorge Martin extending his lead means he earned more points than his rivals in Germany, while Ai Ogura's jump shows his strong performance.
