If you've thought to yourself that the MotoGP calendar in the modern era is a bit cram-packed, you're not alone. For most of the season, it feels like races seemingly flow one right after the other, sending the entire paddock flying on to the next race weekend almost immediately after the champagne has sprayed at the GP that just finished.
And then, after that seemingly nonstop flow of adrenaline, there's the summer break. While it might not be the three months that break up the school year in the US, for race fans, it can feel like an eternity in comparison to the rest of the season. But if you're a racer, it's clear that you can't ever stop training, even if race weekends are on hold for the time being.
