Let’s delve into the upcoming motorcycling season, exploring key dates and highlighting the contenders.

Pecco Bagnaia’s Quest for a Historic Hat-Trick

Fresh off back-to-back world championships, Pecco Bagnaia looking for a historic third title. All eyes are on him this season, but the competition is fierce, with contenders like Bezzecchi, Bastianini, and last year’s main rival, Jorge Martin. A significant spotlight is also on the return of Marc Marquez, making his debut on a Ducati Desmosedici with Gresini Racing.

Unveiling the MotoGP 2024 Calendar: A Global Spectacle

Italian Stops and Global Adventures

Italian motorcycle enthusiasts have two dates circled on their calendars: Mugello in early June (with a possible weekend shift) and Misano in September. The season includes approximately three weeks of “vacation” unless interrupted by promotional commitments.
