The MotoGP™ world is abuzz with excitement as the World Championship race intensifies, with only three points separating the top two contenders. This weekend, all eyes converge on the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia at Mandalika, marking Round 15 of the 2023 Championship—a promise of thrilling action!
On Thursday, riders will dutifully attend to their media commitments, commencing with the initial Press Conference at 17:00 local time (GMT +8). This features the title frontrunners: Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) and Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing), who will preview the next round of their Championship battle. They will be joined by Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team), who recently announced his exit from Honda. The eight-time World Champion will discuss with the media the motivations behind the split and his future plans.
Then at 17:35 Alex Marquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) and Enea Bastianini (Ducati Lenovo Team), two riders returning from injury, will be joined by future GASGAS Factory Racing Tech3 pairing Augusto Fernandez and Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Ajo) in the third Press Conference of the day.
All three Press Conferences will be accessible for viewing as part of the MotoGP™ GearUP show, where Jack Appleyard and Simon Crafar will lead you through the biggest MotoGP™ stories. Shifting gears to Friday, track action gets underway with Moto3™ at 09:00 local time, and you can find the complete weekend schedule below!
