2021 MotoGP Catalan GP – How to watch, session times & more

MotoGP travels to the Barcelona this weekend for the Catalan Grand Prix. Here's the full schedule for what is the seventh round of the 2021 season.

Franco Morbidelli, Petronas Yamaha SRT

The championship took a major turn at Mugello last weekend as Yamaha Fabio Quartararo romped to victory from pole position, capitalising on an early exit for Ducati rival Francesco Bagnaia.

Yamaha and Ducati are again expected to battle for victory at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a track where the two manufacturers have enjoyed plenty of success in the last five years.

Judging by the form in Italy, Suzukis of Alex Rins and reigning champion Joan Mir could also be in the fray, while KTM could potentially continue its resurgence at the Spanish venue.

It would also be interesting to see how the recovering Marc Marquez performs in his home country after crashing out of the previous two races.

Honda currently sits just three points clear of Aprilia in fifth place in the manufacturers' standings following a torrid start to the year, with Takaaki Nakagami's fourth-place finish in Jerez the marque's best result so far.
