One reason to root for every MotoGP rider on the 2024 grid

MotoGP enjoyed one of its greatest title fights in the series' 74-year history in 2023, with Ducati Lenovo's Pecco Bagnaia emerging victorious over Pramac Ducati's Jorge Martín on the final day of the season in Valencia to win his second straight world championship. And the motorsport world took notice, with the two-wheeled equivalent to Formula One boasting record attendance over the course of the campaign.

Despite a reasonably quiet offseason, MotoGP is primed to make even more noise in 2024. One of the greatest of all time, Marc Márquez, left the only team he's ever known in Repsol Honda for a chance to ride the all-conquering Ducati Desmosedici, intensifying this year's title fight before a single lap has been turned in anger.
