MOTOGP’S ASIA-PACIFIC RUN BEGINS AT THE RESURFACED JAPANESE GP
1 Oct 2026·
The 2026 Japanese Grand Prix opens MotoGP’s Asia-Pacific stretch, with five races scheduled across the next six weeks. Francesco Bagnaia won at Motegi in 2025 on a factory Ducati, but a complete resurfacing means last year’s performance offers little guide to this weekend. The circuit’s stop-and-go layout is still expected to suit Ducati machinery.
