MotoGP is racing in Brazil this week for the first time since 2004, marking a historic comeback for the championship and Brazilian fans.
The return takes place at Goiânia’s Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna, a track MotoGP hasn’t visited since the late 1980s.
Riders and teams have no modern MotoGP data, creating one of the fairest playing fields in years.

THE CIRCUIT
Because no current rider has raced here in MotoGP, the event represents a “complete reset” for the grid. This levels the field and removes data-driven advantages normally held by top teams.
The Goiânia’s Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna track is known for a rhythm that demands precision through mid‑speed sections.
Heavy braking zones that create prime overtaking opportunities.
Flowing transitions that test tyre management and chassis balance.
ACOSTA ARRIVES AS A FIRST-TIME CHAMPIONSHIP LEADER
Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) leads the standings after an explosive opener in Thailand, including a debut Sprint win and a podium on Sunday. His early-season pace puts him at the centre of the title narrative, and many wonder whether he can claim his first Grand Prix victory of the season in Brazil.
BINDER’S KTM SHOWING STRONG EARLY FORM
Both Acosta and teammate Brad Binder impressed in Thailand, suggesting the RC16 is more competitive than last year. Binder’s consistency (double top-seven) adds weight to speculation that KTM may be a serious threat to Ducati in 2026.
MARC MÁRQUEZ CHASING RECORDS AT A TRACK HE’S NEVER SEEN
Marc Márquez last raced in Brazil as an 11‑year‑old spectator-era kid, and now returns as one of MotoGP’s all-time greats. With no data and unpredictable conditions, his racecraft becomes a major storyline—especially after intense battles with Acosta in Thailand
