Over the past few years, we’ve been treated to endless amounts of magnificent MotoGP™ races. As another stunning season on track draws to a close in 2020, we’ve compiled some of the top stats from the last five years to show just how breathtaking this sport is.
Since 2016, there have been 16 different winners in the premier class. This is equal to the number set between 1976 and 1980: Marc Marquez, Dani Pedrosa, Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Cal Crutchlow, Andrea Iannone, Andrea Dovizioso, Maverick Viñales, Jack Miller, Alex Rins, Danilo Petrucci, Fabio Quartararo, Brad Binder, Miguel Oliveira, Franco Morbidelli and Joan Mir.
At the 2020 European Grand Prix, World Champion Mir became the ninth different winner of 2020. The famously equals the record of the most different winners in a single premier class season set in 2016.
In 2020, with Quartararo (Spain), Binder (Czech Republic), Oliveira (Styria), Morbidelli (San Marino) and Mir (Europe), we saw the emergence of five first time winners in a single premier class season for the first time in the history of Grand Prix racing.
