“It’s too much” – Marquez, Quartararo express concern over new MotoGP schedule
The 2024 MotoGP season will have the most races ever in one season, with a total of 44 races on a 22-race calendar. Two triple-headers and three back-to-back rounds are scheduled towards the end of the season. Some riders, like Brad Binder, don’t see it as a big problem if they’re not at home, but for those who have families, it’s more challenging. The increased number of races also affects team members and mechanics, who will have a hectic schedule. Both Fabio Quartararo and Marc Marquez believe that 22 races is the limit and that the new schedule with back-to-back races puts additional physical and mental strain on the riders, leading to more injuries and a higher risk of crashes and mistakes.
