The final phase of the 2019 MotoGP™ eSport Championship burst into life at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli last weekend and just six days on the second of three rounds offers competitors a chance of redemption at the #AragonGP.

The Global Series is contested between 12 of the world’s fastest gamers across three weekends, held at existing MotoGP™ rounds, and comprises of six races. The gamer with the most points after the sixth and final race will hoist the third ever MotoGP™ eSport Championship above their head.

Six countries – Spain, Italy, Belgium, Brazil, Australia and Indonesia – are represented in the Global Series. And in a new feature for 2019, each of the 12 riders will represent one of the current MotoGP™ teams, adding to the prestige and drama of the occasion.
