MotoGP riders are moving forward with plans to form a union, similar to the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA) in Formula 1.
A new Riders’ Association is being established in MotoGP to represent the riders on various issues, similar to how MotoGP teams are represented by IRTA and manufacturers by MSMA. The Association aims to give the riders a clear and unified voice on matters such as safety, technical rules, race weekend schedule, contract validity, and minimum wage. Sylvain Guintoli, a former Grand Prix rider and World Superbike champion, has been targeted as the riders’ representative. Discussions have been held regarding potential improvements, but details are being kept private for now. The union could also help riders contribute to the evolution of technical rules to improve overtaking and ensure safer racing conditions.
