MotoGP history

The FIM Road Racing World Championship dates back to 1949 with the first race being staged in the Isle of Man, which is now world famous for the annual TT road race.

English and Italian brands were to dominate the early years and no rider demonstrated their superiority better than Giacomo "Ago" Agostini, who took 122 victories in 194 starts and was crowned world champion on 15 occasions between 1963 and 1977.

The competition undertook several changes in the decades that followed, including the abolition of the push start and the removal of sidecar races from the programme.

It wasn't until 2002 that the established 500cc class was replaced by MotoGP and the rebranded classification saw the introduction of more powerful motorbikes.

Not that the changes impacted Valentino Rossi. Commonly known as 'The Doctor', Rossi was the final champion of the 500cc class before emerging victorious in the first four years of MotoGP.

Since the inaugural MotoGP season in 2002, there have been nine different champions, including six-time champion Marc Marquez and two-time champions Casey Stoner and Francesco Bagnaia.
