Largely shaped by the pandemic and the absence of its dominant force, 2020 proved to be MotoGP's most dramatic campaign in recent memory as a new champion emerged from a cluster of more fancied names. Here are the year's key takeaways
The spread of coronavirus put this year's MotoGP World Championship in serious doubt, but the organisers pulled out all the stops to provide a shortened season on European soil. Nine different winners from fourteen races, and no fewer than fifteen podium finishers, turned 2020 into one of the most open and entertaining campaigns in memory.
As if the impact of a global pandemic wasn't enough, the introduction of a new Michelin rear tyre increased the unpredictability of the action on track, as the world's premier motorcycle racing series reflected the daily uncertainty of life in general.
