Motul ready for another thrilling ride in MotoGP™ 2019

The high-tech two-wheeled showcase that is MotoGP roared back into life on March 18th in Qatar, Middle East, with Motul once again involved throughout the season not just on a technical and commercial level – including four title sponsorships – but also via creative and innovative customer and fan interaction. 

Combining top level factory and privateer teams, MotoGP features unique, sophisticated prototype bikes operating within the most challenging of constraints and using tailor-made lubricant technology, all in the hands of heroic, daring and hugely entertaining riders.  

More than 20 of the world’s best riders, 11 teams, 6 different manufacturers and 20,000cc of horsepower will line up in 15 different countries across 5 continents for the 2019 MotoGP season and, with plenty of riders moving to new teams for this season, it promises to be super-exciting and more unpredictable than ever.
