The 2023 campaign promises new emotions with rivalries between drivers and records to be broken. input in MotoGP there will be more options for partial victories, but certainly in order not to spoil the history of the star category, the victories achieved in the Sprint Race will go into a separate chapter.
MOTOGP
As for MotoGP, at the moment the records held by Giacomo Agostini (titles and consecutive victories) and Valentino Rossi (victories and podiums) are safe.
Marc Márquez can continue to increase his pole position record starting at 63 because of Motegi last year he raised his own record. But there are two that he can beat, scoring in a season (420 points in 2019) and, as time goes on, wins in a campaign (13 in 2014) and podiums in a campaign (18 in 2019) taken into account that will have 21 GGPP -although only Sunday races will count for these chapters-.
The most complete bike of all time is the Ducati, capable of going fast on any type of circuit and condition, and although consistency has never been its greatest virtue, the Pecco Bagnaia has amply demonstrated that when it has been directly, it has the ability to break records. like the 108 points in the last 10 GGPP he endorsed to his rival after cutting the 91 points he got at the Sachsenring. The preseason he conducted was similar to that of Marc Márquez in 2014 when he scored the first ten Grands Prix in a row.

MOTTO2
In Moto2, the option of breaking records is complicated from the moment there are no more specialists in the intermediate category, except for the honorable exceptions who did not find a place in MotoGP or their passage was ephemeral. Historical records are safe, but those in a pure campaign depend on whether there is as much competition as ever and no one is fielding a direct one. Kato’s 11 victories in a campaign are his most since 2001, while his 14 podiums in a campaign is a record shared by Marc Márquez, Tito Rabat and Zarco. That will be the task of the candidates for the title Pedro Acosta, Tony Arbolino, Alonso López, Arón Canet, Ai Ogura or Albert Arenas without eliminating the somewhat irregular Sam Lowes, Jake Dixon or Celestino Vietti.
