    Inside MotoGP Race Direction with Mike Webb

    Mike Webb is the most senior official in MotoGP. He is responsible for race control, safety decisions, penalties, red flags, and consistency across every Grand Prix weekend. When races stop, restart, or change direction, the final call sits with him. In this interview, we go inside MotoGP race direction.  We cover how decisions are made in real time, how technology and regulations shape modern racing, and how trust is built with riders, teams, and manufacturers. We also explore Mike’s career path from New Zealand motorsport to the top job in the paddock, and what it takes to operate under pressure when every decision is scrutinized worldwide. This is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the role that quietly governs MotoGP.
