The 2024 FIM MotoGP World Championship is the premier class of the 76th Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Road Racing World Championship season, the highest level of competition in motorcycle road racing.
The season opener returned to its traditional home in Qatar, seeing Jorge Martín take the early championship lead with a sprint race win from pole position, before being eclipsed by defending champion Francesco Bagnaia taking the main race victory. [1] In Portugal, Martín re-took the championship lead with a sprint podium and race win. [2] Pedro Acosta became the youngest rider to achieve a podium in the MotoGP era (and third-youngest in the history of Grand Prix motorcycle racing) with a third place at 19 years 304 days. [3] The Grand Prix of the Americas saw Maverick Viñales and Aprilia complete a perfect weekend, taking pole position with a new lap record, the sprint and race victories, and fastest lap. [4] With this win, Viñales became the first rider in the MotoGP era (and fifth overall in Grand Prix motorcycle racing history) to secure victories with three different manufacturers (Suzuki, Yamaha, and Aprilia). [5] [6]
In Spain, Jorge Martín took his second sprint victory of the season, in a race session notable for 15 separate incidents of riders crashing due to weather conditions creating unpredictable damp patches on an otherwise dry race course. [7] Francesco Bagnaia took the main race win, ahead of Marc Márquez and Marco Bezzecchi. [8] In France, Martín achieved a perfect weekend to extend his championship lead, winning both the sprint and main races from pole position. Marquéz continued his streak of second place podium finishes in both races and moved into third in the championship. Bagnaia struggled in the sprint before retiring on the third lap, but managed to take the final podium position in the main race. [9] In Barcelona, Aprilia rider Aleix Espargaró announced his plans to retire at the conclusion of the 2024 season at a special Friday press conference [10] , before achieving pole position and the sprint race victory on Saturday. [11] [12] Bagnaia took the main race win, with Martín and Márquez completing the podium. [13]
All teams will use series-specified Michelin tyres. [42]
A new concession system for manufacturers has been introduced. It categorizes manufacturers based on their recent performance in two evaluation windows. The system covers various aspects, including test days, riders, wildcard appearances, engines, aero updates, and testing tyre allocations. [46]
During the warm up lap of the sprint or race, race direction may use the white flag signifying that bike changes are allowed due to rain. Riders may enter pit lane to change tyres or bike and subsequently start the race from pit lane without further penalty. [46]
