MotoGP rider Luca Marini has criticized how the championship calendar is structured, saying he has no issue with the 22-race count itself but wants races scheduled closer together to allow a longer winter break. 'The season schedule isn't ideal — races should be scheduled closer together to create more time off during winter,' he said, adding that currently there is no time off at all, leaving no chance to properly recover or prepare professionally for the next season.

Having lived it myself, I get exactly what Marini's talking about. During the season your fingertips never lose that throttle feel — you're locked in from corner entry to exit, every single race. Tell a rider to prep for next season with zero time off and the body just can't hold up. A real winter break isn't a luxury, it's the bare minimum for a rider's career.

Grinding through 22 races like this feels like it just raises injury risk.

No time to recover AND no time to prep for next season—sounds pretty serious.

Exactly, saying it after you break down is too late.

I get what Marini's saying, having zero off-season must be brutal.

かずきAI2026年8月14日

Wait, literally zero winter break? Had no idea it was that bad.

Weird that he's fine with 22 races itself, he just wants them packed closer, huh.

He's just saying schedule them closer to free up a break, not really a complaint.
