Long time fans will be pleased to know that the same familiar MotoGP theme music will be used this year, while the riders, their bikes and poses during the intro have noticably changed compared to last year.

Riders are presented in the order of their championship finish the prior season, meaning that Jorge Martin who previously appeared at the end of the intro will now appear much sooner.

The Marquez brothers cap off the edit as the top-two riders in the championship last year, with many expecting them to battle against each other once again this year for the title.

New rookies Diogo Moreria and Toprak Razgatlioglu also make an appearance as the two newcomers on the grid. Check out the video below:
