MotoGP riders’ association in the works, Guintoli set to lead it
This season, the main parties involved in motorcycle racing have taken action to form a riders’ union, an initiative aimed at giving riders a greater voice in championship issues such as minimum wages and mutual insurance for injured riders. Similar organizations already exist in Formula 1, with the GPDA representing drivers. The riders have started shaping the idea by creating a WhatsApp group to discuss collective concerns. Sylvain Guintoli, a former World Superbike champion and Suzuki test rider, has been chosen as the riders’ spokesman. He is currently learning about the legal procedures necessary to form the organization and plans to generate a memorandum for all the riders to sign, solidifying their commitment to the organization.
