Still up for grabs in 2023: Che spettacolo!

A bumper weekend at Mugello awaits MotoGP™ after a short break, and there are plenty of records up for grabs at the Gran Premio d’Italia Oakley. Check out some of the best below:

Reigning Champion Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) can become the rider with the most victories for Ducati. He is currently third with 13 wins, behind Andrea Dovizioso – who is now just one ahead on 14 – and Casey Stoner, who leads with 23.

Bagnaia could also become the third most successful Italian rider in the premier class in terms of victories. Pecco has 13 and is, therefore, two away from Andrea Dovizioso in third (not forgetting the soon-to-be Legend’s victory with Honda, adding to his 14 with Ducati). Valentino Rossi leads the way with 89, ahead of Giacomo Agostini on 68.

There have been 98 Grands Prix wins for French riders so far, so France could reach 100 in 2023.

With 12 wins across all classes so far, Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™) could become the French rider with the most victories. Johann Zarco (Prima Pramac Racing) leads on 16.

Quartararo, who has 29 Yamaha podiums, could move up to join MotoGP™ Legend Kenny Roberts in fifth on the list of riders with the most podiums with the Iwata marque if he reaches 39.

Zarco could become the fifth French rider to win in the premier class along with Quartararo (11 wins), Régis Laconi (1), Christian Sarron (1) and Pierre Monneret (1). He could also give the honour of being the rider with the most premier class podiums without a win (17) back to Colin Edwards, who has 12.

Nine riders could reach the milestone of 50 podiums across all classes this year: Bagnaia (45), Miguel Oliveira (CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP™ Team) (41), Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) (41), Alex Marquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) (41), Enea Bastianini (Ducati Lenovo Team) (40), Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) (37), Joan Mir (Repsol Honda Team) (33), Jack Miller (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) (33), and Quartararo (33).

Mir and Oliveira could win with a second manufacturer, following Rins’ suit. Mir has won with Suzuki and now races for Honda, while Oliveira has five premier class wins with KTM and is now at Aprilia.

Maverick Viñales (Aprilia Racing) and Miller could both make MotoGP™ history by winning with three factories. Viñales has won with Suzuki and Yamaha, and aims to add Aprilia. Miller has victories with Honda and Ducati, and has adapted quickly to the KTM.

Marc Marquez currently has 85 Grand Prix wins across all classes, only five shy of MotoGP™ Legend Angel Nieto. If Marquez reaches 90 +1, he will take both third on the list of the most successful riders and become the most successful Spanish rider in history in terms of wins.

With 59 premier class wins, Marquez could become the second most successful rider in premier class history if he betters the 68 wins of Giacomo Agostini. Valentino Rossi leads the way with 89 premier class wins.

When – if? – when he wins again, Marc Marquez will become the ninth rider in history with a premier class winning career spanning ten years or more.

When – if? – when he wins again, it will be the longest gap between victories for the number 93. It was 581 days between Valencia 2019 and the 2021 German Grand Prix. On race day at Mugello it will be 595 days since he won the 2021 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, and at the Sachsenring it will be 602. Shall we stop counting there?

It’s been five Grands Prix of more MotoGP™ than ever, and we still can’t get enough! There’s history on the line at the Italian GP – and plenty of glory for the home heroes too – so if you want to be part of the show, head HERE to get your tickets for the truly stunning Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello. Tuscany + MotoGP™… what could be better?!
