MotoGP Catalunya GP

By Phil Bainbridge

June 15, 2018 - June 17, 2018 - Seventh round of the 2018 MotoGP season, Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

The 70th Road Racing Championship is organized by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (F.I.M), which is based in Switzerland and has 112 affiliated National Motorcycle Federations (FMN) over six continents.

Grand Prix motorcycles are purpose-built prototypes that are not available for purchase and can not be driven legally on public roads. They are estimated to be worth about 2 million US dollars each as they can not easily be replaced.

The 2018 Championship includes motorcycles from 6 constructors (Aprilla, Ducati, Honda, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha) in 12 Teams (Ducati with 4, Honda with 3, Yamaha with 2 and the others with 1 each).

The highest recorded speed for a MotoGP motorcycle is 361 km/h (224 mph), set by Andrea Dovizioso, during the warmup at the 2016 Qatar Grand Prix
