News MotoGP: 2023 season programme unveiled

the new MotoGP season is approaching. Champion Francesco Bagnaia is preparing to defend the crown he so brilliantly won last year. The Italian rider is once again a candidate for his own succession. However, the competition is long in the tooth, as was the case with previous champion Fabio Quartararo. Determined to return to the top, the French rider should have a machine with sufficient performance to rival the Ducatis. And let's not forget the more than promising return of racing legend Marc Marquez.

last year saw the dominance of Italian Ducati bikes on the grid. Francesco Bagnaia and Johann Zarco exploited the full potential of these machines, relegating the Yamaha to second place. Honda also fell behind, but Marc Marquez stood out. The 2023 World Championship promises to be a thrilling one. Towards a reshuffling of the cards? It's hard to say. In any case, the challengers will do their utmost to get closer to Ducati supremacy.
the most prominent teams are, of course, Ducati Corse, with its two official riders Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini. Good news for fans: this new MotoGP season promises to be the most hotly contested yet. As already mentioned, Yamaha will be doing their utmost to return to the top, led by Fabio Quartararo and Franco Morbidelli. The Japanese firm, Honda, has clearly not said its last word and wants to get back to winning ways. Marc Marquez has already made his presence felt, and Joan Mir is also keen to fly the official team colors. Aprilia and Red Bull KTM are also lying in wait, ready to take advantage of the slightest slip-up by their rivals. For your information, it's possible to watch MotoGP for free with a VPN.

the new season begins on the weekend of March 24-26. In the meantime, pre-season testing got underway on February 10 at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia. Fabio Quartararo highlighted the Yamaha team's efforts to improve top speed. However, the French rider admits that there are still a number of faults to be corrected on his machine.
on the Ducati side, optimism is justified by the new bike's performance. However, lap speed is not the objective of these tests. Instead, the riders embark on various reliability, endurance, tire and fuel management programs.
like Formula 1, MotoGP fills its calendar with new races. So it's a rich season that fans can look forward to. Faced with such a large number, you may be wondering how to keep up with the grand prix without missing a single date. The good news is that the official calendar has been released.
a total of 21 tracks are scheduled for the season. Many of the classics are back, but a few changes have been made. The order of the grand prix is also slightly different from last year. As previously mentioned, the season kicks off on March 26 in Portimao, Portugal. It will end on the Valencia circuit.
