MotoGP: MotoGP tests reduced: from 8 to 6 days in winter

The Grand Prix Commission has decided to reduce the number of winter test days for the MotoGP, going from 8 to 6, while the 3 shakedown days reserved for rookies and factory test riders will remain the same. The number of test days held during the season will also decrease, from 4 to 2.

The revised test schedule is as follows:

- One 1-day official test, following the final Grand Prix of the 2022 season, on the same circuit used for the final event.
- One 3-day shakedown test, prior to the first official test after the winter test ban period, only for factory test riders and MotoGP class  rookies.
- One 3-day official test, after the winter test ban period and before the first event of the season.
- One 2-day official test, after the winter test ban and before the first event of the season.                                                                                                    - Two 1-day official tests, on Monday or Tuesday after a GP event, on circuits and dates to be agreed upon by the teams and Dorna/IRTA.
