New track

2024 will see MotoGP™ touch down in a new region of the world as the stunning Sokol International Racetrack joins the calendar. Located just outside Kazakhstan’s largest city, Almaty, Sokol is a brand-new circuit in the heart of Central Asia.
Kazakhstan becomes the 30th country to host a motorcycle Grand Prix since 1949 and Sokol International Racetrack will be the 74th circuit visited by the championship.

Teams and riders for 2024

The 2024 season will see some major changes to the grid. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that eight-time world champion Marc Márquez has ended his 11-year association with Repsol Honda and is joining forces with his younger brother Alex at Gresini Racing on a one-year contract.
Ducati have also managed to retain the services of rising star Marco Bezzecchi who turned down a switch to Pramac, while keeping faith with Enea Bastianini and Francesco Bagnaia. Honda, meanwhile, have yet to confirm who will replace Márquez, but have signed Johann Zarco to replace the departing Alex Rins.
Rins has moved to Yamaha where he will join up with Fabio Quartararo, while Franco Morbidelli has made the switch to Pramac. There is also a change at KTM who had five riders contracted for just four bikes. Jack Miller and Brad Binder will continue as the unchanged factory duo, while Pedro Acosta will graduate from Moto2™ after winning the championship and will join Augusto Fernández at Tech3 GASGAS. This means Pol Espargaró will miss out on a full-time seat but will stay within the KTM ranks and race in 2024 as a wild card.

Change in regulations

The major change for the 2024 season is that MotoGP™ is taking its first step towards a non-fossil fuel future. That means that next year 40 percent of the fuel used by the teams must be of non-fossil origin. This is then scheduled to rise to 100 percent for the 2027 season.
