YOGYAKARTA The International Motorcycle Racing Federation (FIM) in mid-2022 issued a MotoGP rider age rule for the 2023 season and beyond. FIM and Dorna Sport as MotoGP promoters raised the minimum age limit for young riders fighting on grids.
This rule was made to protect young riders, given that many young riders were less mature when competing in junior classes.
For your information, in the 2021 racing season, three riders died on the race track. One of them is Jason Dupasquier (19 years old), who died on May 30, 2021 after a crash in Q1 Moto3.
Six months later, Maverick Vinales' cousin, Dean Berta Vinales (15) died in the World Supersports 300 Championship.
To prevent the same case, the solution taken by FIM and Dorna is to increase the age limit and reduce the size of the grid.
So, what are the age limits for MotoGP riders for the 2023 racing season? Check out the full information below.
