After a gentle start to 2023, the second half of the MotoGP season is kicking into high gear. A week after the Barcelona round, the paddock is assembled again in Misano. The Gran Premio Di San Marino E Della Riviera Di Rimini is the second part of the first set of back to backs which will see us careering toward the season finale in Valencia.
After Misano, there is a week off before the double header of India and Motegi. Then another week off, and the first of the last two triple headers, the paddock flying from Mandalika to Phillip Island and back to Buriram. Another free weekend, and then the season ends with Sepang, Qatar, and the twentieth and final round in Valencia.
And after Misano, we should hear what the 2024 calendar will be like. That is likely to be even longer, at least in theory. With the paddock abuzz with rumors, it looks like we will have 22 races on the calendar next year, with Kazakhstan now finished, and rumors of Hungary joining the calendar, as Dorna has already signed a multi-year contract with the Hungarian promoter. The circuit which was supposed to host that race, at Hajdúnánás near Debrecen in the east of the country, is still not built, but there is talk of adapting the Hungaroring to make it safe for MotoGP.
