Italian MotoGP rider Enea Bastianini has criticized the MotoGP safety commission for not meeting the riders’ safety needs and has called for the establishment of a riders’ union.
He expressed concerns about the lack of real safety measures during grand prix weekends, the introduction of Sprint races, and the potential use of street circuits without consulting the riders.
Bastianini highlighted his worries about the safety of the new Balaton Park circuit, especially after his frightening crash at the chicane last year.
He admitted to not attending any safety commission meetings in 2026, as he feels that the current system does not address the riders’ concerns effectively.
Bastianini emphasized the importance of resolving safety issues rather than just discussing them, and he expressed hope for the establishment of a representative body for MotoGP riders to address safety and other issues.
