Background

Riders' entries

At the Practice session in the MotoGP class, there were two red flags. The first was raised due to a power outage in the race control room. Then, the red flag flew again due to a severe accident that befell GasGas Tech3 Factory Racing rider Pol Espargaró. Based on information from MotoGP, Pol had an accident at turn 10. The GasGas Tech3 rider was rushed to hospital with back and chest trauma. Meanwhile, Ducati Lenovo rider Enea Bastianini was forced to pull over and did not participate in this race. He had to get on the operating table due to a fractured shoulder blade. Bastianini got this problem after an accident in the 2023 Portuguese MotoGP sprint race the day before. He fell after his motorbike was swept by Mooney VR46 Racing Team rider Luca Marini who slipped first.

In the Moto2 class, Idemitsu Honda Team Asia rider Ai Ogura was confirmed to miss the opening Moto2 series in Portugal. That's because Ogura is still recovering from an injury to his left wrist which was operated on a few weeks earlier. Meanwhile, Izan Guevara was also forced to miss the opening two races in his Moto2 debut due to a right wrist injury. In the Moto2 Portugal and Argentina series, Izan will be replaced by Jordi Torres. The reigning Moto3 champion crashed badly on the first day of the Moto2 private test at Jerez.[1] álex Escrig withdrew from this race. He initially attempted to perform in P1, but could not cope with the pain caused by his crash during the Jerez test. Forward Team has appointed David Sanchis as a temporary replacement.
