^ I forgot they'd introduced sprints this season: I'll go to Sepang again this year, incentive to go Sat/Sun rather than just the main race day
MotoGP 2023 Sprint Races
From the 2023 season, MotoGP will run sprint races on the Saturday of every grand prix event.
This sprint race will take place at 3pm local time for each event, with the usual qualifying session happening earlier in the day to decide the grid for it.
MotoGP sprint races will run to half of the total distance of the main grand prix. So, for example, the British Grand Prix at Silverstone consisted of 20 laps: therefore, the sprint race will be run over 10 laps.
Half points will be awarded to riders in the top nine positions of the sprint races.
In a normal grand prix, the top 15 riders score points in a system of: 25, 20, 16, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
In the sprint race, the winner will score 12 points, with the remaining eight positions down to ninth scoring 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
