SATURDAY
There ’ s another session of free practice – so essentially , track time – before qualifying starts . The Q1 session gives the riders in it a second shot at moving through to Q2 and the pole position shootout . The top two in Q1 move through . The rest have their grid positions decided , from P13 down .
Then it ’ s time for Q2 at the fight for pole . It usually goes to the wire , and riders will usually do two runs . They ’ ll head out on a lap to warm up their tyres , go for a hot lap , and then a cool down lap on the way back in . The top three at the end are the front row starters , and they ’ ll head for parc ferme to celebrate .

Then , Moto3 and Moto2 qualify , before it ’ s Sprint time . The MotoGP Sprint is the first race action in the premier class , and half distance in comparison to the main Grand Prix on Sunday . The grid is the same for the Sprint and the GP race , and the action is just as spectacular . Seeing the lights go out twice on one weekend adds two huge spikes of awesome adrenaline to the event .
EXPERIENCE THE ADRENALINE OF MOTOGP™ FROM THE FIRST PRACTICE TO THE FINAL RACE .
Official Programme
SUNDAY
Sunday begins with MotoGP Warm Up , a ten minute session to basically check things over ahead of the main race . Maybe check a setup , just get dialled in . Then it ’ s parade time , where riders head out on an open top bus to do a lap of the track and greet the fans in the stands – this is LIVE on YouTube and features interviews throughout ! Then , the races begin , as simple as that : Moto3 first and then Moto2 . Finally , the big show : MotoGP . We don ’ t call it the most exciting sport on earth for nothing ! The Grand Prix race lights up the track as we go racing for a maximum of 25 points for the winner .
