About this chart race
Seven riders have held or shared the record: Leslie Graham and Nello Pagani after the first season in 1949, Geoff Duke from 1950, John Surtees (level with Duke on 22 in 1960), Mike Hailwood from 1965, Giacomo Agostini from 1970 and Valentino Rossi from 2008. Agostini reached 68 wins in 1976, and that total stood as the record until Rossi passed it in 2008. Rossi won his 89th and last premier-class race in 2017. Marc Márquez won 11 races in 2025 to go from 62 to 73 and overtake Agostini for second place, and after 15 races of 2026 he has 78, eleven short of Rossi.
This animated ranking shows how career premier-class grand prix wins changed across 43 series between 1949 and 2026. The bars re-order themselves as the years advance, so overtakes are visible as they happen rather than hidden inside a table. Use the list on the left to choose exactly who competes, drag the slider to jump to any year, or open the table view to read the underlying numbers.
As of 2026, Valentino Rossi leads with 89.
