Spain Reveals Star-Studded Rider Lineup for Inaugural GP World Cup
Team Spain has officially unveiled its final rider lineup for the first-ever GP World Cup season, confirming a trio packed with championship pedigree, raw talent and one of the strongest rosters on the grid.
Leading the team is nine-time world champion Marc Márquez, joined by premier-class world champion Jorge Martín, while rising sensation Pedro Acosta completes the lineup as Spain prepares to fight for the inaugural Nations Championship title.
The announcement immediately positions Spain among the favourites heading into the debut edition of the GP World Cup, a competition designed to bring together the world’s best motorcycle racing nations in a unique country-versus-country format.
Márquez, widely regarded as one of the greatest riders of the modern era, brings unmatched experience and an extraordinary winning record to the Spanish squad. With dozens of victories and podium finishes across his career, the Cervera-born rider is expected to play a key leadership role both on and off the track.
Alongside him stands Jorge Martín, whose aggressive riding style and outright speed made him one of the most feared competitors in the paddock. The Madrid rider enters the tournament at the peak of his career and is seen as a major weapon for Team Spain in sprint and qualifying situations.
Completing the trio is Pedro Acosta, the youngest member of the team and one of the brightest talents in world motorcycle racing. Despite his age, Acosta has already built a reputation for fearless racecraft and maturity beyond his years, making him a crucial long-term asset for the Spanish project.
Team Spain’s combination of proven champions and emerging talent has already generated major excitement among fans, with many viewing the lineup as one of the most balanced and competitive in the entire championship.
With Márquez, Martín and Acosta under the same banner, Spain now sends a clear message to the rest of the grid: they are entering the inaugural season with only one objective — winning the world title.
