The 2022 season must still name its World Champions in Moto2 and in MotoGP, but in the premier category, all eyes are already on 2023 which will begin… 48 hours after the grand final! On Tuesday November 00, in fact, the off-season will open with a first test on the Ricardo Tormo track. Quite a few drivers will discover a new machine and another team. For one of them, we will celebrate a reunion. Here are those who will experience these great firsts.
Le Valencia test on Tuesday November 8 will mark a first time for some of the big names in MotoGP who will indeed discover a new motorcycle. For them, this first contact will count a lot and will already give a valuable indication of the merits of their decision to change creamery. Certainly, but who exactly are they and where will they stay? Here is the reminder of this workforce:
Jack Miller from Ducati to KTM.
Enea Bastianini from Ducati Gresini to Ducati Lenovo.
Pol Espargaro from Repsol Honda to Tech3 GASGAS.
Augusto Fernandez from Moto2 to Tech3 GASGAS to be the only rookie of the year 2023.
Joan mir from Suzuki Ecstar to Repsol Honda
alex rins from Suzuki Ecstar to LCR Honda
Miguel Oliveira from KTM to RNF Aprilia
Raul fernandez from Tech3 KTM to RNF Aprilia
Alex Marquez from LCR Honda to Ducati Gresini
2023 opens a new era in MotoGP
Which still brings quite a few people, and which announces an unprecedented 2023 vintage with more uncertainties since, at the same time, the format of the Grands Prix is changing. We could almost speak of a new era in MotoGP. The new calendar thus provisionally provides 21 rounds with two new countries, India and Kazakhstan. And there will be 42 races since it is now necessary to integrate the sprint races in MotoGP.
In Valencia, next Tuesday, we will already have to work hard to make the right technical choices, because the next meeting with the track will take place with a shakedown test of Sepang planned only from February 5 to 7, 2023...
