MotoGP BAS quarterly! Stats and milestones so far in 2023


MotoGP Quarterly Report!

The first five races of the blockbuster 2023 MotoGP season kicked off a new era of style. With close competition and some truly breathtaking battles on the track, the verdict is in – with a 27% increase in TV audiences and a grandstand welcoming 40% more fans this year than last year. Here’s a rundown of what we’ve seen so far, as well as some of the major milestones still waiting for you to grasp.

In the first five events, every producer was on the Grand Prix podium. Ducati and Honda have won Grand Prix races, and KTM came close when Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) was only two-tenths behind in Jerez. The Austrian factory also claimed its first Tissot Sprint victories – two of them, again with Binder.

Brad Binder is currently third in the MotoGP World Championship

After the announcement of the new sports format, there was a lot of talk about who would become the expert sprinter to the finish line. So far, that’s 80% of the market share held by defending champions Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) and KTM’s Binder, with two each. The driver many expected to thrive in Saturday’s game also won the most recent Sprint: Jorge Martin (Racing Prima Pramac).

So far, 11 drivers – 50% of the grid – have stepped onto the Grand Prix podium. That aligns with the first five Grands Prix of 2020 as the golden era of close competition continues.

The riders who have stood on the Grand Prix podium rather than the Sprint podium are Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac Racing), 2021 Champion Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP), Maverick Viñales (Aprilia Racing) and Alex Marquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP). ).

The only driver on the podium on Saturday and not Sunday was Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team). The eight-time world champion almost changed that last time around, and few would bet on the number 93 clearing that stat by the Sachsenring (at the latest?). Marquez also didn’t race in three events, potentially skewing the stats.

There have been three wins for Independent Teams so far in 2023 – two for Marco Bezzecchi (Mooney VR46 Racing Team) and one for Alex Rins (LCR Honda Castrol). The only year to achieve that after the first five races in the MotoGP era is 2020.

Before 2023, there were also only two events in the MotoGP era where Independent Teams failed to win the GP podium: Qatar 2004 and Portugal 2020. This season, it happened twice. Argentina saw Bezzecchi win over Zarco and Alex Marquez, and Bezzecchi also won the French GP, this time against Martin and Zarco.

Fits nicely above Gran Premio d’Italia Oakley, there are some great stats for homegrown heroes. The top two in the Championship – Bagnaia and Bezzecchi – were evenly split by a point and a podium. They are equal in number of Grand Prix wins so far in 2023 with two each, but Bezzecchi takes the lead with three. That also makes the number 72 the driver with the most GP podiums to date.

Thanks to this duo, 2023 will also be the first time that Italian drivers have won four of the opening five MotoGP races since 2006 when Loris Capirossi, Valentino Rossi and Marco Melandri were honored.

Portuguese GP: Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing) made his 218th start in the top flight to move up to fourth on the all-time list. He equalized MotoGP Legends Dani Pedrosa and Nicky Hayden, and has since taken the lead of both – although Pedrosa added another with that stunning wildcard in Jerez. Valentino Rossi leads with 372 starts in the top tier, ahead of soon-to-be MotoGP Legends Andrea Dovizioso (248) and Alex Barros (245), with Aleix Espargaro now fourth with 222.

Argentina GP: Bezzecchi becomes first place winner. There are currently only eight riders on the grid who have yet to win the top-tier Grand Prix: Zarco, A Marquez, Pol Espargaro (GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3), Raul Fernandez (CryptoData RNF MotoGP Team), Luca Marini (Mooney VR46 Team) ), Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini Racing MotoGP), Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda Idemitsu) and rookie Augusto Fernandez (GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3).

Americas GP: Rins becomes the eighth rider to win with two manufacturers in the MotoGP era alongside Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), Andrea Dovizioso, Casey Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo, Viñales, Max Biaggi and Valentino Rossi.

Alex Rins has become the third other MotoGP winner in as many races in 2023 at Austin’s Circuit of The Americas

Quartararo has moved one place above Max Biaggi in the list of Yamaha riders with the most podiums. The Frenchman is currently solo in sixth place, with 29 podiums on the Yamaha.

Spanish GP: Bagnaia tied on points with Max Biaggi in fourth place on the list of the most successful Italian drivers in the top class. They have 13 wins each.

French GP: Le Mans broke the all-time MotoGP event attendance record with 278,805 spectators.

Marc Marquez vs. Marc Marquez

When – if? – when he wins again, that will be the longest gap between wins of number 93. It is 581 days between Valencia 2019 and 2021 German Grand Prix. On race day at Mugello it will be 595 days from when he wins the 2021 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, and at Sachsenring it will be 602. Shall we stop counting there?

There have been five Grands Prix of more MotoGP than ever and we still can’t see enough! There’s history on the track at the Italian GP – and a lot of glory for the hometown heroes too…
