Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will remain on the MotoGP calendar for the foreseeable future after a renewed deal.
Dorna Sports has extended the partnership between the FIM MotoGP World Championship and the classic Catalonia venue for another five years, however the track may not be on the schedule permanently between now and 2026. The new agreement guarantees the Gran Premi de Catalunya a place on the 2022 calendar - currently planned for 3-5th June - and confirms a minimum of two more events to be held between 2023 and 2026.
From 2023, the plentiful nature of Iberian Peninsula tracks means the circuits will be alternated, with Barcelona hosted at least two within the four year timeframe.
"This contract renewal with the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for five more seasons is, without a doubt, fantastic news for MotoGP,’ Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta stated.
"The spectacular Catalan track has been linked to MotoGP since the first beginnings of Dorna and has been a key fixture on the calendar each season. This important agreement extending the collaboration until 2026 demonstrates, once again, the commitment shown to our Championship by the promoter."
