MotoGP previews: every Grand Prix in numbers
In MotoGP every Grand Prix awards points twice: Saturday's sprint is worth half of Sunday's race. That is why the title maths in our previews always counts the sprints too, and why the points available are more than the races alone suggest.
We have published 2 previews of MotoGP so far, the first on 30 October 2026. The latest covers the race weekend ending on 8 November 2026. Each one is written before the weekend from numbers we can source — standings, the points still available and the circuit's past results — and none of them contains a prediction.
