Honda HRC rider Luca Marini has criticised the 2026 MotoGP calendar, saying "the course of events over the year is not ideal" and that races should be scheduled closer together to create a bigger winter break. The 2026 season runs nine months, from late February to the end of November, leaving less than two months off before 2027 preseason testing begins.

Having watched it up close, I know exactly how brutal it is to keep that throttle feel sharp across nine straight months of racing. Marini's "no time to prepare" line isn't just a complaint — it feeds straight into next season's pace. Riders grumble about this every year in the pits, but this time it sounds like the real thing.

When do preseason tests usually happen each year?

Not enough rest probably raises injury risk too.

A nine-month season with under two months off — that math is genuinely rough.

Not sure just bunching races tighter actually fixes it without cutting the count.

F1 still seems to get more of a break, doesn't it?

The packed calendar complaint comes up basically every year.
