The tradition of using 'Grid Girls' in MotoGP, and other motorsport events, has been a long-standing one. However, it's time to reassess this practice in light of modern values and gender equality. Grid girls are typically young women employed by promoters to perform promotional tasks, often dressed in revealing outfits that objectify them. This not only perpetuates harmful stereotypes but also creates an environment that is unwelcoming for many female fans and potential athletes.

In 2018, Formula 1 made the decision to stop using grid girls, stating that this custom does not resonate with their brand values and clearly is at odds with societal norms (source: BBC News). It's high time MotoGP follows suit.

By signing this petition, you're supporting a move towards greater respect for women in motorsports and helping create an environment where everyone feels welcome. Let's urge Dorna Sports as the commercial rights holder for MotoGP to end the use of grid girls now! Sign this petition today!
