Here’s why MotoGP doesn’t race the full track at Le Mans

MotoGP races all over the world. From Spain to Japan, America to Germany, and almost everywhere in between - sorry, penguins, there’s still no Antarctic GP yet - and at tracks new and old. And some even in locales familiar to those outside the world of two-wheeled racing.

Each year, MotoGP’s circus descends upon a town in France called Le Mans. And, knowing a little bit about racing, or being a casual endurance racing fan, you’ll no doubt recognize the name as the destination it is, being the home of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It’s the place where Ford beat Ferrari. Where Porsche reigns supreme. And where Mark Webber went airborne in a Mercedes decades ago in a clip that’ll forever be a part of internet culture.
