    Behind the bubble: What’s it really like to race a MotoGP™ bike?

    View Profile
    Flexibility, conditioning, concentration…and balls; just some of the traits needed by MotoGP riders for a 44-race, 22-Grand Prix, 10-month season of action and speeds reaching nearly 370kmph. These athletes will crash on average 15 times a campaign (based on 2025 official figures) and will steer fine-tuned prototype machinery around a range of different circuits and weather conditions.
