minimum weight

WorldSBK’s move to a combined rider and bike minimum weight for 2024 leaves the premier MotoGP class isolated.

While Moto2 and Moto3 calculates minimum weight as a combined rider and bike measurement, MotoGP continues to specify a machine only limit.

GSE Racing, which runs the championship leading Airwaves Ducati team, has repeated its opposition to the 'wholly unjustified' twin-cylinder minimum weight increase - now confirmed as taking effect from this weekend's Snetterton round - but is pleased that a 2kg tolerance has been included.

A new minimum weight limit of 175kg for twin-cylinder machinery competing in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship has been confirmed, effective immediately.
