The 2014 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season will be the 66th F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season.

Marc Márquez will start the season as the defending riders' champion in the MotoGP category, with Honda the defending manufacturers' champions. Pol Espargaró and Maverick Viñales will be the reigning Moto2 and Moto3 champions respectively; however, neither will defend their titles as both are being promoted, with Espargaró joining MotoGP and Viñales entering Moto2.

Grands Prix

The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme released a 19-race provisional calendar on 2 October 2013.[1] The calendar was updated on 13 December 2013[2] and again on 24 February 2014, resulting in a calendar of 18 races.[3]

The 2014 calendar originally saw the addition of two South American races, the series' first visit to the continent since 2004. A race in Argentina at the newly upgraded Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo is scheduled for April 27 and a race in Brazil at the Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet in Brasilia was scheduled for September 28, but was subsequently removed[3] due to delays in the track modifications.[4] The standalone MotoGP race at Laguna Seca, a mainstay since 2005 has been discontinued.

Teams and riders

Starting in 2014, the rules governing the eligibility of entries will change. MSMA prototypes will be reclassified as the new "Factory" class, whilst the Claiming Rule Teams sub-category will be restructured as the "Open" class. All bikes will use the approved MotoGP Electronic Control Unit, with bikes in the "Open" class using both the MotoGP ECU and identical software, and those competing as "Factory" entries permitted to use their own custom software.[22] The Factory option bike will have their allocation of engines reduced from twelve to five, and those five will have their design frozen.[22] The amount of fuel allowed will be reduced from twenty-four litres to twenty litres.[22]

A manufacturer who has not achieved a win in dry conditions in the previous year, or a new manufacturer entering the championship, could enter under the Factory option with all the concessions available to the Open class; these benefits will be reduced in case of a determined number of podiums or wins.[23]

Ducati Team and Pramac Racing were due to enter their bikes in the Open class[24] but revised regulations meant that they were finally entered under the Factory option.[25]

A provisional entry list was released by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme on 20 November 2013.[26] An updated entry list was released on 14 January 2014.[27] Teams had time until 28 February to decide if a rider would be assigned to the "Factory" or "Open" class.[22] The final entry list was released on the same day.[28]
