Grand Prix motorcycle racing, established in 1949 by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), is the oldest motorsport world championship. The series is currently divided into three classes: MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3. Former classes, including 350cc, 250cc, 125cc, 50cc/80cc, and MotoE, have been discontinued or undergone changes in status. MotoE, initially a “World Cup” from 2019 to 2022, achieved World Championship status from 2023 to 2025 before entering a hiatus after the 2025 season.
Giacomo Agostini currently holds the record for the most Grand Prix victories with 122 wins, followed by Valentino Rossi with 115 and Marc Márquez with 99. Valentino Rossi also holds the record for the longest time span between his first and last victories. The motorcycles used in the MotoGP class are purpose-built and not available for public purchase or legal road use.
The next scheduled event is the continuation of the 2026 MotoGP World Championship, with details regarding the location and date to be announced by the FIM.
