Sports season
Marc Márquez became the MotoGP world champion in his rookie season.
The 2013 FIM MotoGP World Championship was the premier class of the 65th
F.I.M.
Road Racing World Championship season.
Season summary
Jorge Lorenzo started the season as the defending World Champion,
[1] while
Honda was the defending Manufacturers' Champion. Moto2 champion
Marc Márquez joined the MotoGP grid with
Repsol Honda .
[2]
In the premier MotoGP class, Lorenzo, along with
Repsol Honda teammates
Marc Márquez and
Dani Pedrosa battled it out for most of the season in regards to the championship battle. Lorenzo won the opening race of the season in
Qatar ,
[3] before rookie Márquez became the youngest premier class winner,
[4] as he claimed victory in the inaugural
Grand Prix of the Americas in Texas.
[5] Pedrosa took back-to-back victories at
Jerez – where Márquez and Lorenzo battled for second place, clashing at the final corner
[6] – and
Le Mans ,
[7] before Lorenzo did likewise at
Mugello ,
[8] and
Catalunya ; at the former, Márquez retired from the race after crashing out of second place.
[8] At
Assen , Lorenzo crashed during free practice and fractured his collarbone, and after emergency surgery and initial reports that he would not take part for the rest of the weekend,
[9] he competed in the race and finished fifth.
[10] Márquez and Pedrosa finished second and fourth respectively,
[10] as
Valentino Rossi took his first race victory since
2010 .
[10] Márquez then won the next four races,
[11] starting at the
Sachsenring ,
[12] where both Lorenzo and Pedrosa were sidelined with injuries; Lorenzo with a recurrence of his Assen injury after crashing in free practice once again,
[13] while Pedrosa was ruled out with low blood pressure, stemming from a separate incident.
[14]
After two more victories for Lorenzo at
Silverstone ,
[15] and
Misano ,
[16] Márquez and Pedrosa collided at the
Aragon Grand Prix , where a slight touch caused a sensor on Pedrosa's bike to tear and cut the traction control system.
[17] Márquez went on to beat Lorenzo to victory,
[18] and after Pedrosa won in
Malaysia ,
[19] Márquez held a 43-point lead in the championship with three races to go.
[20] However, a disqualification in
Australia ,
[21] as well as Lorenzo winning both in Australia and
Japan reduced that margin to thirteen,
[22] ahead of the final race in
Valencia ; the first final race title decider since
2006 .
[22] After battling Pedrosa and Lorenzo in the early stages of the race, Márquez finished third in the race to become the youngest premier class champion, beating
Freddie Spencer 's record from
1983 .
[4] As well as this, Márquez became the first rookie since
Kenny Roberts in
1978 to win the championship in their début season,
[4] and only the fourth rider to win world championships in three different categories after
Mike Hailwood ,
Phil Read and Rossi.
[4] Pedrosa's second place, behind Lorenzo,
[23] was enough for
Honda to clinch the constructors' championship.
Regulation changes
The MotoGP class saw the introduction of a new qualifying system, in which the riders placed eleventh or lower based on times in Free Practice 3 were sent to Qualifying 1. The two fastest riders from that session would then join the ten fastest riders in Qualifying 2 to set the first 12 positions of the starting grid.
Calendar
The
Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme released a 19-race provisional calendar on 19 September 2012.
[24]
[25] On 23 November 2012, the calendar was updated following confirmation that the return of the
Argentine Grand Prix would be postponed to 2014.
[26]
[27] The
Grand Prix of the Americas held at the
Circuit of the Americas in Austin, United States, replaced the
Portuguese Grand Prix , which had been run at
Estoril since 2000. The United States hosted three races, the other two being the
United States Grand Prix at
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and the
Indianapolis Grand Prix at the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway .
