French outlet Paddock GP published an opinion piece asking whether MotoGP should rein in Spain's dominance, noting 12 of the 2026 grid's 29 riders are Spanish and the calendar includes four Spanish rounds. It weighs strong academies like Aspar against arguments that talent alone should decide.
I'm all for letting the track decide, straight up. I've seen it from the inside — the fastest riders rise, period. Politics isn't my thing, honestly, but having 12 Spaniards out of 29 just shows how deep that talent pool runs. Forget the calendar debate — judge riders corner entry to exit, that's the only fair call.

Who's Ezpeleta? The Dorna boss actually said that out loud?
Cut the home bias and pick on raw talent, way more exciting.
Italy's fading 'cause VR46 scaled back the youth program, right?
Italy used to hold its own in numbers too... kinda sad now.
12 of 29 riders are Spanish, plus 4 home GPs? That's a lot.
12/29 is basically 40%. Aspar academy's pipeline is nuts.
