The 2023 MotoGP season begins in Portimao, Portugal. This year, MotoGP inaugurates a new format, the sprint races, which will take place on Saturday. The number of laps is half that of the Sunday race and logically, the drivers will be awarded half the number of points, ie 12, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points.
Another novelty for this 2023 season, two circuits are appearing: the Kazakhstan Grand Prix, which will take place on the Sokol circuit, and the Indian Grand Prix on the Buddh circuit. Here is the complete racing schedule, broadcast in full on Canal+.
