The worlds fastest and most high-profile motorcycle racing championship will stage the 13th round of its 2023 edition in India, just a year after plans for MotoGP Bharat were first announced. The addition of India to the calendar is part of MotoGPs expansion plans into Asias major two-wheeler markets. It follows on the success of races in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. The organisers are banking on Indias emerging middleclass and a growing demand for bikes to gain a foothold in the country.
