Keith Huewen: Is a Sprint race a MotoGP? I've argued with myself over this! Full story & Podcast 🎙️👉 MotoGP AustrianGP
The new Sprint race format for 2023, Sunday’s MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 races, the future of Miguel Oliveira and Remy Gardner - and does MotoGP need bigger characters? Just some of the topics on this week’sRiders were surprised when rumours of the new Sprint race emerged on Friday, with an official press conference the following day confirming the shorter Saturday races will be held at every round of the 2023 MotoGP season.
“But for television, they'll love an extra race. For the riders, they are now going to be under even more stress and pressure. What's the difference between an FP4 session and a Sprint race? A lot! You have to be prepared to put it right on the very limit for an extra race, even more so in the case of a Sprint.
But in a later TV interview, Dorna sporting managing director Carlos Ezpeleta indicated that, although there will be a podium ceremony, a Sprint race will not be regarded as an official GP: “Personally, I think if you're going to race as hard as they're going to race and score points for it, it should be called a Grand Prix.‘We’ve had shorter MotoGP races in the past’“I think when you put a bunch of MotoGP riders out there to race as hard as they can on MotoGP bikes for world championship points, it should count as a ‘real’ MotoGP race.
“Imagine if someone takes their first victory in the Sprint, but still wouldn't be an official MotoGP winner? It just becomes confusing, especially for people who are new to the sport.
