For the 10th consecutive year, Tissot is "The Official Timekeeper of MotoGP," the fastest and most prestigious motorcycle racing circuit in the world. In MotoGP, the world's most elite motorcycle riders race insanely fast superbikes around the track in excess of 200 mph. Needless to say, timing motorcycles with this kind of speed and acceleration requires a highly accurate timekeeping system.
