The FIM, motorcycle racing’s global administrators, revealed an updated calendar for the 2021 MotoGP World Championship last weekend, taking into account the effects of international Covid-19 regulations.
The season opening Grand Prix in Qatar remains confirmed for 26 to 28 March and it will now be followed by a second event, the Grand Prix of Doha, at the same Losail International Circuit the following weekend, from 2 to 4 April.
The Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portugal will then host the third round of the Championship from 16 to 18 April before the paddock heads to the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto in Spain. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns and complications have forced the postponement of both the Argentina GP and the Americas GP until the last quarter of 2021. The updated calendar can be viewed here.
