Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix is the premier championship of motorcycle racing. It is divided into three classes. MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3. Since 2012, the engine capacity of the bikes has been 1000ccc, meaning the monster bikes reach speeds of up to 350km/h.
The 2019 MotoGP season will begin with the Qatar Grand Prix in Lusail. Riders then travel all over the world – including the Australian Grand Prix in October – before finishing the season in Spain for the Valencia Grand Prix.
The record for most titles won by a MotoGP racer is held by Italian Giacomo Agostini, who won 15 MotoGP titles between 1966-75. He won eight titles in the 500cc category and seven in the 350cc category.
Since its inception in 1949, Italian drivers have won the most World Championships with 75, while the United Kingdom is behind them with 44.
Australia is sixth in the combined rankings winning a total of 11 World Championships. One of the most famous Australian riders was Mick Doohan, who won five MotoGP Championships between 1994 and 1998.
