2023 MotoGP Indonesian Grand Prix – How to watch, session times & more

Just three points separate title contenders Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin as MotoGP returns to Indonesia after a successful 2022 edition. Once the clear favourite to lift the 2023 crown, Bagnaia's lead has dwindled rapidly in recent weeks and the factory Ducati rider faces serious pressure from his Pramac rival in the final quarter of the season.

Martin has the momentum on his side, having won two of the last three grands prix and scored three consecutive sprint wins.

Neither rider finished inside the top 10 in last year's wet-weather race in Indonesia, which was won by Miguel Oliveira on the KTM.
