The 2021 FIM MotoGP World Championship is the premier class of the 73rd F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. Joan Mir began the season as defending riders' champion.
Season summary
Joan Mir and Team Suzuki Ecstar began the season as defending riders' and teams' champions respectfully, while Ducati started as defending constructors' champion. Ducati and Yamaha became early season favourites after winning all the first five races of the season (rounds 1-3 for Yamaha, rounds 4-5 for Ducati) and locking out all but one of 15 podium positions between them. Perennial title favourite Marc Márquez made his return to the series at the third round in Portugal, after missing nearly the entirety of the 2020 season as well as the first two rounds in Qatar due to injury recovery.[1] By the sixth round in Italy, Fabio Quartararo became the first clear title favourite of the season after four consecutive pole positions and achieving his third win of the season, extending his championship lead to 24 points.[2] At the German Grand Prix, Marc Márquez made his first return to the podium since Valencia 2019 with a win, extending his unbroken streak of victories at the Sachsenring to 11 in a row, dating back to 2010 in the 125cc class.[3] With the win, Márquez ended Honda's longest win drought since their full-time return to the pinacle of Grand Prix racing in 1982 at 581 days. At the Dutch TT, Quartararo claimed his fourth win of the season to extend his lead in the rider's championship heading into the summer break, with a 34-point-advantage over his nearest rival and compatriot Johann Zarco.[4] Returning from the summer pause in Styria, rookie Jorge Martín translated his second career pole position into his maiden race win in just his sixth MotoGP race start,[5] and claimed the first victory for Pramac Racing since their entry to the class in 2002.[6]
COVID-19 pandemic
As with the previous season, the 2021 championship was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the cancellation or postponement of many races. As it became clear local pandemic conditions would not allow for a running of the Argentine or American Grands Prix as planned, both races were postponed and replaced with a second round in Qatar and a round in Portugal.[7] The return of the Finnish Grand Prix was delayed by a further year, as Finnish race officials did not wish to hold their inaugural event without fans in the grandstands, and the race was replaced with a second round in Austria.[8] The Japanese Grand Prix was cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic situation in the country and the resulting travel complications and logistical restrictions, replaced by the new date for the American Grand Prix.[9] The Australian Grand Prix was cancelled in early July, due to the paddock's inability to meet the Australian government's requirement for a two-week quarantine for all foreign entries to the country, which would introduce too large of a disturbance to the MotoGP schedule.[10][11] With a mid-summer resurgence of COVID-19 cases in Thailand, that country's Grand Prix planned for mid-October was also cancelled for the second year in a row.[12]
Teams and riders
All teams use series-specified Michelin tyres.
Rider changes
- Fabio Quartararo moved to the Yamaha factory team from Petronas Yamaha.[32] Valentino Rossi swapped seats with Quartararo, leaving the Yamaha factory team after 15 seasons over two stints with the team.[36]
- Pol Espargaró moved to Repsol Honda after 4 years with the KTM factory team, replacing Álex Márquez, who moved to LCR under a Honda factory contract, in turn replacing Cal Crutchlow.[23] Crutchlow joined Yamaha as a test rider, replacing incumbent test rider Jorge Lorenzo.[38][39]
- Miguel Oliveira moved from KTM satellite team Tech3 to the factory team. Danilo Petrucci replaced Oliveira at Tech3 after two seasons with the Ducati factory team.[27]
- Andrea Dovizioso left the Ducati factory team after 8 seasons with the team at the end of the 2020 season.[40] On 10 November 2020, he announced his intentions to take a sabbatical for the 2021 season and focus on a return in 2022.[41]
- Both Pramac Racing riders Jack Miller and Francesco Bagnaia moved to the factory Ducati team.[15][16] Johann Zarco (coming from Esponsorama) and Jorge Martín (promoted from Moto2 with KTM Ajo) replaced them.[17]
- Enea Bastianini and Luca Marini were promoted from Moto2 to Esponsorama Racing, replacing Zarco and Tito Rabat, the latter having his contract terminated prematurely for 2021 and moving to the Superbike World Championship.[21]
- Lorenzo Savadori was promoted from a test rider position to a race seat for Aprilia Racing Team Gresini, after Andrea Iannone received a four-year competition ban for a doping violation.[13]
Mid-season changes
- Stefan Bradl replaced Marc Márquez for the start of the season, as Márquez prolonged his recovery from his 2020 season-ending injury.[25]
- Tito Rabat replaced Jorge Martín for the Spanish and French Grands Prix, while the rookie recovered from injuries sustained in a Saturday morning crash at the Portuguese round.[18]
- Ducati test rider Michele Pirro replaced Martín for the Italian Grand Prix.[19]
- Álex Rins missed the Catalan Grand Prix after suffering a broken arm prior to the race. He was not replaced for the round.[42]
- Franco Morbidelli missed several races after injuring his left knee in a training accident.[43] He was replaced by Garrett Gerloff for the Dutch round and by Cal Crutchlow for the Styrian and Austrian rounds.[34]
- Lorenzo Savadori underwent surgery after his crash in the Styrian round. He missed the succeeding Austrian round and was not replaced.[44]
- Yamaha withdrew Maverick Viñales from the Austrian Grand Prix, citing "unexplained irregular operation of the motorcycle" during the Styrian Grand Prix.[45]

Grand Prix locations
Calendar changes
- The Finnish Grand Prix was reintroduced to the calendar after a 38-year absence. The venue hosting the round will be the new Kymi Ring, instead of the Tampere Circuit used in 1962 and 1963 or the Imatra Circuit which hosted the round until 1982. The Finnish Grand Prix had been included on the 2020 calendar, but the inaugural race was cancelled in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The Czech Republic Grand Prix was initially left off the provisional calendar, as the circuit requires mandatory resurfacing for safety compliance, and it was unclear if the necessary work could be completed in time for its typical schedule date in early August. The 11th round of the championship was therefore left open as provisionally pending.[62] On 8 December 2020, Brno city councillors announced that they would opt out of the 2021 calendar, citing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[63] It will mark the first absence of a Grand Prix in Brno since 1992. The mayor of Brno hopes for the return of the championship in 2022.[64]
Calendar changes as a reaction to COVID-19 pandemic
- With the uncertainty of the development of the COVID-19 pandemic, championship organizer Dorna elected in November 2020 to nominate three "Reserve Grand Prix Venues" which could be used in the event that local virus containment measures or regulations force the cancellation of a planned Grand Prix.[65]
- The Portuguese Grand Prix at Algarve had previously returned to the schedule as a replacement race for the final round of the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season.[66]
- The Indonesian Grand Prix was originally planned to be reintroduced to the main calendar after a 23-year absence before being designated a Reserve Grand Prix for 2021. The venue hosting the round would be the new Mandalika International Street Circuit, instead of the Sentul International Circuit used in 1996 and 1997.[67]
- A Russian Grand Prix would see the inaugural motorcycle Grand Prix in that country. The Igora Drive circuit would be used.
- On 22 January 2021, Dorna announced a significant update to the provisional calendar including the following changes:[7]
- The Argentine and American Grands Prix would be postponed due to the COVID-19 situation in both countries, with potential rescheduling for the final quarter of 2021.
- A double-header would open the season in Qatar on 28 March and 4 April, followed by Portugal as the third round.
- The provisionally pending race created by the absence of the Czech Grand Prix was removed.
- The potential Russian Grand Prix was removed from the reserve list, leaving Indonesia as the sole Reserve Grand Prix Venue.
- On 14 May, it was announced that the Finnish Grand Prix would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation, and the Styrian Grand Prix would replace it on the date of 8 August. It was also confirmed that the Indonesian Grand Prix would remain a reserve Grand Prix in the 2021 calendar, subject to circuit homologation.[8]
- On 23 June, it was announced that the Japanese Grand Prix would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation, with the previously postponed Grand Prix of the Americas taking its place in the calendar. This also led to the postponement of the Thailand Grand Prix by one week.[9]
- On 6 July, it was announced that the Australian Grand Prix would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation, with the Malaysian Grand Prix brought forward by a week to replace it on the date of 24 October. In addition, a new Grand Prix, the Algarve Grand Prix, was introduced, which is scheduled to be held on 7 November.[68]
- On 21 July, it was announced that the Thailand Grand Prix would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 restrictions in the country.[12] MotoGP are currently assessing options for a possible replacement.[69]
