The creation of a MotoGP riders’ association akin to Formula 1’s Grand Prix Drivers’ Association is being worked on by one-time World Superbike champion Sylvain Guintoli, Motorsport.com has learned.
Although the possibility of creating a kind of riders' union has been flying around the paddock for years, it has not been until this season that the main parties involved have taken action on the matter and have begun the path towards its formation.
Guintoli won the WSBK title in 2014, spent two seasons in MotoGP between 2007 and 2008, and latterly acted as Suzuki test rider alongside his endurance racing commitments.
