2023 MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more

Ducati's Francesco Bagnaia heads to Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with an extended lead of 62 points following a dominant performance last time out at the Red Bull Ring.

However, 2018 was the last time a Ducati rider triumphed in the Catalan GP, with Jorge Lorenzo taking the spoils for the factory team. Since then, Fabio Quartararo has racked up two wins for Yamaha, while Marc Marquez (Honda) and Miguel Oliveira (KTM) have got one win each.
