FANZONE &
HERO WALK
Every MotoGP weekend offers fans a chance to get closer to their heroes than ever before thanks to the Fanzone, Hero Walk and Rider Parade.
The MotoGP™ Fanzone is exactly how it sounds: a host of different fan activities all in one place. From on-stage entertainment – including the chance to hear from many of the riders – to music, merchandise, interactive shows and more, the Fanzone is the centre of the off-track action. At many Grands Prix, it also hosts the podium ceremony for the Tissot Sprint!
Along with seeing and hearing from the riders during a race weekend, there are a host of food and merch stands where you can find the best official MotoGP™ merchandising, as well as the attire worn by your favorite riders and teams.
2021 MotoGP™ World Champion Fabio Quartararo is a fan of the Fanzone.“ The Fanzone has been a very positive experience for the fans and the riders. It lets us share very good moments with the fans who come to see us live at the circuits and who want to see us more closely!”
Meanwhile, the Hero Walk provides a chance to meet your favourite riders even more closely than that. MotoGP™ riders normally descend on the fan favourite area on Sunday morning, while emerging talents in the Moto2™ and Moto3™ classes make a trip down the Hero Walk earlier in the weekend. The Hero Walk is normally close to or within the MotoGP™ Paddock and is often the best bet for a selfie!
If you can’ t make it to the Hero Walk though, don’ t fear – the riders will come to you. Or near enough! The Rider Parade every Sunday morning sees the MotoGP grid head out on an open top bus round the track to say hello to the fans in the stands, talk a little shop, and often give out some merchandise. And all before the lights go out a little later for the most exciting sport on earth.
“ THE FANZONE LETS US SHARE VERY GOOD MOMENTS WITH THE FANS UP CLOSE.”
