Motorbikes on the move: Logistics of MotoGP™

A look behind the scenes at how the paddock gets from A to B – from one side of the world to the other

During the European rounds, the MotoGP™ paddock is full of team branded trucks lined up behind the pit boxes. The teams unpack, set up, go racing, and then pack everything away to hit the road to the next venue.

Sometimes, it may be as easy as the Red Bull Ring to Brno. But what happens when the next venue is on a different continent?

Then it’s a centralized task organized by IRTA and Dorna, and to move the MotoGP™ paddock as one is a big operation. By 2016, it’s 800 crates that need to find their way across the globe, with 360 tons split between four 747 planes.
