Provisional MotoGP test dates announced for 2023

Preparation for 2023 ramps up just as soon as the current MotoGP season has concluded with the traditional one-day test confirmed at Valencia for November 8th 2022.

Dates for next year’s official tests across the three classes have also been announced as the provisional calendar takes in Sepang and Portimao before the MotoGP season kicks off on European soil for 2023, with Moto2 and Moto3 concentrating its efforts on the Iberian peninsula at both Jerez’s Angel Nieto Circuit and Portugal’s Algarve International.

In-season testing has also been scheduled following race weekends at Jerez and Misano for the premier class while the Spanish GP is extended further for the junior classes and Silverstone gets in on the action with a Moto2/Moto3 day after the British GP.

Valencia’s all-important first look as riders switch teams and GasGas joins the fray will be live streamed on motogp.com across November 8th.
