MotoGP riders are moving forward with plans to form a union, similar to the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA) in Formula 1.
A new body is being proposed to represent MotoGP riders, similar to how MotoGP teams are represented by IRTA and manufacturers by the MSMA. The goal is to give the riders a unified voice on a wider range of issues. Sylvain Guintoli, a former grand prix rider and World Superbike champion, has been named as the potential representative for the riders’ association. Topics that the association could address include safety, technical rules, race weekend schedules, contract validity, and a minimum wage. The riders believe that having a union would allow them to contribute more to the evolution of technical rules and help improve overtaking and race safety.
