Team mechanics are in charge of replacing all these parts. These professionals work tirelessly at every GP, paying great attention to every little detail.<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The RC213V used by Marc M\u00e1rquez and Dani Pedrosa is one of the most advanced pieces of motor vehicle engineering on Earth. This bike requires completely different maintenance to other apparently similar ones like the Honda CBR. It also differs a great deal from the way two-stroke bikes were maintained back in the days of the 500cc world championship. As the engines in these bikes were more rudimentary, they had to be taken apart completely so that each part could be cleaned\u2026 and this had to be done at the end of every GP day!<\/p>\n

These days, with the rules stating that engines have to be sealed, and thanks to the advances in technology, such exhaustive maintenance is no longer necessary (or permitted). However, many parts are subject to heavy wear and need to be replaced frequently to avoid accidents. Assuming a MotoGP bike has around 2,000 separate parts and components, around 200 of these require high maintenance and control.<\/p>\n

Tyres:<\/strong> These are changed before every session, and sometimes during sessions too, if required. MotoGP tyres<\/u><\/a> don\u2019t last much longer than the distance covered in one race (around 120 km).<\/p>\n
