The 2019 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season is the 71st F.I.M. Road Racing World Championship season.
After seven rounds of the championship, title defender Marc Márquez on a Honda leads the championship after four race wins, chasing his sixth premier class title. Last season's championship runner-up Andrea Dovizioso is in second for Ducati with Álex Rins on a Suzuki in third, both of whom having won a race each. Danilo Petrucci is the other race winner, both him and Rins winning their first races during the season.The season saw the introduction of a new penalty called the "Long Lap" penalty for exceeding track limits, which, at every circuit, is a route defined and marked at a safe point around the circuit (usually a run-off area outside of a turn). Any rider that receives the penalty must ride through the area within 3 laps of being notified.

The FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix is the premier class of motorcycle road racing, held since 1949.
Grand Prix motorcycles are purpose-built racing machines that are neither available for purchase by the general public nor able to be ridden legally on public roads. This contrasts with the various production-based categories of racing, such as the Superbike World Championship and the Isle of Man TT Races that feature modified versions of road-going motorcycles available to the public.
The championship is currently divided into three classes: MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3. All three classes use four-stroke engines. In 2010 the 250cc class was replaced by the new Moto2 600 cc four-stroke class. In 2012 the 125cc class was replaced by the Moto3 250cc four-stroke class with a weight limit of 65 kg with fuel, and the engine capacity for MotoGP increased from 800 cc to 1,000 cc.
Previously, the championship featured a 50cc class from 1962 to 1983; an 80cc class from 1984 to 1989; a 350cc class from 1949 to 1982; and a 750 cc class from 1977 to 1979.
Unlike races such as the TT Formulae, or Moto-Cross where two and four strokes had different engine size limits in the same class, GP racing set the upper limit the same for both types of engines in all it's classes, until 2002 when MotoGP gave the Four-strokes a 490cc advantage over the Two-strokes - doubling their size and effectively killing the Strokers off - much as pollution laws etc. had done with their road bound contemporaries and probably to reflect what was available in the showrooms at home. Moto2 and 3 are Four-stroke only.
A FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix was first organized by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme in 1949. The commercial rights are now owned by Dorna Sports, with the FIM remaining as the sport sanctioning body. Teams are represented by the International Road Racing Teams Association (IRTA) and manufacturers by the Motorcycle Sport Manufacturers Association (MSMA). Rules and changes to regulations are decided between the four entities, with Dorna casting a tie-breaking vote. In cases of technical modifications, the MSMA can unilaterally enact or veto changes by unanimous vote among its members. These four entities compose the Grand Prix Commission.
