MotoGP has announced the provisional dates for its 2023 tests.
As is customary, the campaign in fact starts at the end of the prior calendar year, with a one-day test at Valencia on November 8, the Tuesday immediately following the 2022 season finale.
Now, MotoGP has advised that in-season tests will take place on the day after the Spanish and San Marino Grands Prix, at Jerez on May 1 and Misano on September 11, respectively.
Moto2 and Moto3 will kick off with private testing at Jerez, the lightweight class on March 9-10 and the intermediate class on March 14-15, before an official test at Portimao on March 17-19.
They will also have official tests shortly after the Spanish Grand Prix on May 2 and British Grands Prix at Silverstone on August 7.
Round 1 of the 2023 season proper will be held at Portugal’s Algarve International Circuit (‘Portimao’) on March 24-26, while the 2022 season continues this weekend with Round 19 of 20 at Malaysia’s Sepang.
