Jerez MotoGP Preview: Where The MotoGP Season Starts For Real

It is a truism that the MotoGP season only really gets underway once the series returns to Europe. That seems a little unfair, as if the riders have been putting their bodies on the line for naught over the first three rounds. After all, Jorge Martin's 80 points from three rounds is a great deal more than, say, 2022 and 2023 champion Pecco Bagnaia's 50 points, 2021 champion Fabio Quartararo's 19 points, and especially Pramac Ducati teammate Franco Morbidelli's total of 0.

It seems doubly unfair to speak of a "return to Europe", as if the Portuguese round at Portimão had been nothing more than a fever dream, or that its proximity to the ocean made it more Atlantic than European.
