2016 MotoGP World Championship

[2][3] Márquez's title marked a return to the top step for Honda after a difficult 2015 campaign for its factory team.

Rossi has been the most consistent title challenger, yet he has crashed out of three races up until Márquez's decisive victory in Japan.

Cal Crutchlow, Jack Miller, Andrea Iannone and Maverick Viñales each won their first races in the premier class, the first time that four new winners had emerged in a MotoGP season.
