Catalonian Moto GP

The Catalonian Moto GP is one of the most popular rounds of the World Championship. Held at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona, it attracts holidaymakers and race fans alike. Drawing crowds of 100,000, the atmosphere is always electric.

Moto GP is one of the world's fastest, most thrilling sports. The bikes reach speeds of up to 310kph (194mph) and, unlike Formula One, overtaking is frequent. The riders take the weave the bravest lines and when the bikes close on each other they push it to the limit.

It feels like the crowd is collectively holding its breath as the riders brake as late as possible into the corners. Then there is the roaring engine noise - a constant reminder of the sheer power the riders are fighting to control.
