Jake Dixon replaces Marc Marquez

MotoGP News

While in the pits of the MotoGP championship the end of the cooperation between Marc Marquez and Honda is expected, the question also arises as to who would take the Spaniard's place. One of the possible scenarios shared by MotoGP commentator Neil Hodgson is that if Marquez leaves for Gresini, his place will be taken by the experienced Johann Zarco, who is on his way to the LCR Honda team. "It would be logical to put an experienced racer like Johann Zarco in the factory team, where he will lead the development and testing of the motorcycle." But then who would sit on the Honda of the LCR team? "There is talk of Iker Lecuona, who was successful as a replacement for Marquez when he was injured.

With the year 2023, only adult racers remain in the Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP championships

MotoGP News

After a series of tragic deaths of young racers this year, the motorcycle umbrella organization FIM has announced significant changes in the minimum age requirement. The biggest changes will happen with the 2023 season, when only racers at least 3 years old will be able to compete in three classes of the motorcycle world championship, ie Moto2, Moto18 and MotoGP. The limit will be raised from the current 16 years, and with this they want to stop the FIM from advancing too fast for young drivers, so that mature and experienced racers will enter Moto3. Other racing series will also undergo changes, as the minimum age limit for the CEV Moto3 and the Supersport 300 World Championships will be raised by two years, to at least 16 years, and the Red Bull Rookies Cup will require the racers to be at least 15 years old and no more. tem
