WHAT IS MO1?
MO1 is not a championship where bikes for sale are modified to compete. It is the world's top-tier motorcycle championship that uses prototype machines developed solely for racing by each manufacturer. 11 teams and 22 riders travel to circuits worldwide to earn points in Saturday sprints and Sunday Grand Prix.

03 · PROTOTYPE MACHINE
BUILT ONLY TO RACE
Race-exclusive machines not considering road use
Every element, from the engine and brakes to aerodynamics, electronics, and tires, is designed to reduce lap times.
01 · INDIVIDUAL SET-UP
Even within the same team, riders have different physiques, braking habits, and corner entry styles, requiring separate configurations for suspension, electronics, gear ratios, and tire strategy.
02 · FACTORY & SATELLITE
Satellite teams use machines from the same manufacturer, but may differ in access to new parts, development personnel, and update priorities.
03 · TYRE WINDOW
Tire choice varies with air and track temperature, and riding style, requiring a balance between initial speed and late-race stability.
04 · DEVELOPMENT RACE
Aerodynamics, electronics, and chassis are continuously updated throughout the season, with rider feedback directly influencing the development of subsequent parts.

06 · QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q & A
Q
Do teammates ride the same machine?
A
They use the same base model from the same manufacturer, but individual rider setups, parts choices, and strategies may differ.
Q
Can satellite teams win?
A
Yes, they can. However, they may be at a disadvantage in the overall season competition due to less support with new parts and development personnel compared to factory teams.
Q
Are races canceled in the rain?
A
Races can proceed with rain tires. If visibility or safety is compromised, decisions on delays, interruptions, restarts, or cancellations are made.
Q
Does the Team Principal manage rider schedules?
A
The Team Principal is responsible for team-level decisions. Daily schedules and logistics are managed by the Rider Manager and assigned staff.
