Four reasons why the 2023 MotoGP season will be the best ever

4 - Rider changes mean new and exciting teammate pairings
Three of the five factory teams will have new rider pairings in 2023, with only the Mon🔯ster ෴Energy Yamaha team and Aprilia Racing retaining both its riders from last season.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez is joined by 2020 MotoGP champion Joan Mir at Repsol Honda, while another big change has seen 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini move into the Lenovo Ducati team opposite world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia.
Mir’s move to Honda is one that could certainly set off fireworks, as the former Suzuki rider’s relationship w⛄ith Marquez has been anything but smooth since joining the premier class in 2019.
At Ducati, Bastianini and Bagnaia are expected to be title contenders, and ba⛄sed on how close they were in terms of performance during several races🧜 in 2022, it wouldn’t be surprising if drama unfolds between the two Italians.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller is another big name to have jumped from one manufacturer to another as he replaces 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Miguel Oliveira at Red Bull KTM.

The Portuguese star, who was wanted by KTM in its rebranded GASGAS Tech 3 team,𒆙 instead moved to RNF Aprilia.
3 - Marquez will return to being a contender
Finally reaching full fi🃏tness for the first time since 2020, Marq🌳uez appears destined to become a real threat for race wins or even better, a championship challenge.
With that said, Ho𒊎nda have been lost over the last three seasons, going through one of their worst spells in Grand Pri🎉x history.
The RC213V has not been a regular challenger to the improved Ducati, KTM and Apri𒁃lia machines, while the persistent problem that is delivering a bike in which only Marquez can truly ride has continued.
If Honda makes improvements𝐆, which is a big if, then Marquez should have the tools both physica🌌lly and technically to become the rider that dominated MotoGP from 2013 to 2019.
Marq♏uez showed that with a bike that was difficult to extract pe🍸rformance from - whilst also being less than 100% fit - he can still deliver sensational performances after claiming pole in Motegi and finishing second at Phillip Island.

2 - More title challengers than ever before
Following on from Marquez potential being in the mix, and the expectaꦏtion that both Bagnaia and Bastianini will be leading contenders, the 2023 MotoGP season could be one where every factory team has a legitimate championship threat.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro will be expecting to show the type of form and consistency that made him 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo’s main title riv🌳al for much of 2022, while 𝔍the Yamaha rider will be aiming to reclaim the title from Bagnaia and can’t be ruled out.
At KTM, small improvements are needed and should that take place then 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brad Binder could be someone to watch.
If Miller and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Maverick Vinales can add consistency then there’s no reason why bo𝐆th riders can’t be contenders. Vinales has already shown he has the speed to contend for race wins which Aprilia will want to see put into practice this year.

Away from the factory teams, Jorge Martin is an obvious name to watch𒐪 due to the raw speed and potential h෴e has.
1 - Sprint races in MotoGP
For the first time ever MotoGP will have Sprint races on a Saturday, adding another layer of 🃏excitement prior to Sunday’s main race.
Replacing FP4, Saturdays will now feature a 30-minute FP3 session, qualifying and half-distance Sprint race, which will be a🌞t every v🐽enue, taking the tally of races up to 42 in 2023.
Unlike WorldSBK where the Sprint race sets the grid for Race 2, qualifying will remain the official grid-setting session▨, while the Sprint race will be its standalone session with half-points on ꦬoffer.
