Sports season
Casey Stoner became the MotoGP World Champion for the second time.
Stefan Bradl (pictured in 2010) became the Moto2 World Champion.
The2011Grand Prix motorcycle racing season was the 63rdF.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season. The 2011 season was also the final season for 800cc engines in MotoGP, and also for 125cc machinery, as both MotoGP switched back to 1000cc engines and a new four-stroke Moto3 class was also introduced in 2012.[ 1]
Casey Stoner was crowned as MotoGP World Champion for the second time, following his ninth victory of the season at theAustralian Grand Prix .[ 2] Stoner, who was champion previously in2007 , finished 16 of the 17 races to be held in the top three placings – equalling a premier class record held by bothValentino Rossi andJorge Lorenzo – including ten wins to become the final 800cc champion before the premier class reverted to 1000cc engines in2012 . As of 2024, this was the last time the premier class was won by a non-European rider, and also the only season in the 2010s decade that the premier class was won by a rider other thanMarc Márquez or Jorge Lorenzo.
The Moto2 title was decided before the final race of the season at theValencian Grand Prix .Stefan Bradl became Germany's first motorcycle World Champion sinceDirk Raudies won the1993 125cc World Championship title afterMarc Márquez , the only rider that could deny Bradl of the championship, was ruled out of the race due to injuries suffered during free practice at theMalaysian Grand Prix .[ 3]
The final 125cc world championship title went to Spain'sNicolás Terol , after he finished second in the final race of the season in Valencia, and his only title rivalJohann Zarco crashed out during the early stages of the race.[ 4] Terol, who finished third in the class in2009 and second to Márquez in2010 , ended the season 40 points clear of Zarco, withMaverick Viñales 14 points further behind, after winning the final two races of the season.
The season was marred by the death ofMarco Simoncelli at theMalaysian Grand Prix .[ 5]
2011 Grand Prix season calendar [ edit ] The following Grands Prix were scheduled to take place in 2011:[ 6] [ 7] An 18-race provisional calendar was announced on 30 September 2010.[ 8] The Japanese Grand Prix, originally scheduled for 24 April, was moved to 2 October due to the effects of theTōhoku earthquake and theFukushima I nuclear accidents .[ 9] [ 10]
‡ = Night race † = MotoGP class only[ 11] †† = Saturday Race ThePortuguese Grand Prix was moved forward, from 31 October to 1 May. TheItalian Grand Prix was moved back, from 6 June to 3 July. TheCatalan Grand Prix was moved forward, from 4 July to 5 June. Only the MotoGP class raced during theUnited States Grand Prix because of California state and Monterey County (owner of the circuit) laws regarding emissions standards and paddock space at the circuit, preventing the 125cc and Moto2 classes from racing. 2011 Grand Prix season results [ edit ] ‡ = Night race † = MotoGP class only[ 11] †† = Saturday Race Footnotes ^ The original attempt to run the race was interrupted on lap two, after an accident that killedMarco Simoncelli . It was found impossible to restart the race and was thus cancelled per the championship's sporting regulations.[ 12] MotoGP participants [ edit ] Key Regular rider Wildcard rider Replacement rider

1 Being his final MotoGP race, Capirossi switched numbers for Valencia as a memorial to his fallen countryman Simoncelli, killed at Sepang, by racing with the #58 that Simoncelli used, instead of his normal #65.[ 38] He was still shown as #65 in official timing documentation.[ 39]
On 31 October 2010, a list of 22 teams was accepted by theFédération Internationale de Motocyclisme ,Dorna Sports and IRTA to compete in the 2011 championship.[ 40] A 38-rider provisional entry list was released on 24 January 2011.[ 13] AllMoto2 competitors raced with an identical CBR600RRinline-four engine developed byHonda .
