After 19 rounds of a compelling 2023 MotoGP™ World Championship, we head into a title-deciding season finale in Valencia. 21 points separate Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) and Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) and with 37 on offer, it is all to play for in Spain!
Before we get the track action underway, both title contenders will front up for media duties on Thursday in their Press Conference at 17:15 local time (GMT +1). Both Bagnaia and Martin will preview the weekend’s action, and it will be available to watch as part of the MotoGP™ GearUp show with Jack Appleyard and Simon Crafar from 16:00, which will also include the MotoGP™ Podcast. There will also be a second Press Conference at 17:45, featuring Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Racing Team), Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini Racing MotoGP™), Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team), Alex Rins (LCR Honda Castrol) and Moto2™ World Champion Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo).
With the Valencia GP bringing the curtain down on 2023, Sunday sees some special events taking place. First up is the World Champion Photo Opportunity at 16:10 (GMT +1) before the World Champion Press Conference at 16:45. The FIM MotoGP™ Awards then close out the festivities from 20:15, and you can watch all the action live on motogp.com.
Before then though, Friday sees the opening runs of the weekend begin at 09:00 (GMT +1) with Moto3™, followed by Moto2™ at 09:50 and then the premier class at 10:45. You can check out the full schedule below!
