Motocycling World Championship

Pecco Bagnaia sets the fastest time at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, Portugal

Riding a motorcycle is something that almost anyone can do, but to go fast, a number of techniques, like the ones the MotoGP riders use, must be applied.

What is the best engine type for MotoGP? There have been all types of engine configuration over the years, but in the modern era, most manufacturers have opted for V4 engines.

Races are taken to the limit, and the riders are completely immersed, taking themselves and their bikes to extremes and making their hearts go into overdrive — beyond what we could imagine for a human being.

The so-called g-forces are present in all acceleration and deceleration moments of a moving vehicle, and of course, MotoGP riders are most intensely subject to these forces.

It’s surely a question you've asked yourself. Can a MotoGP bike handle an endurance race? What would a race with a bike of these characteristics be like?

The pit wall is the last physical contact a rider has with his team. It's from here that information is shared with the rider on the pit board; and it's always a space where the rider receives encouragement.

The use of the rear brake in MotoGP is much more frequent than what you may think, and not only for what is was intended for, which is braking. It is part of an additional element of riding.

The World Motorcycling Championship increases its stages and, from 2023, will incorporate the Indian circuit Buddh in the calendar.

The upcoming MotoGP season will welcome a country that is by no means a regular on the motorcycling circuit—Kazakhstan—where the ninth race of the championship is set to be held in 2023.
