MotoGP bosses have today confirmed the in-doubt Jerez round is confirmed on the calendar through to 2015 while an F1 clash means the German race at Sachsenring will move again to July 14.

Jerez has been under a substantial financial cloud in recent times but the local government has reached a deal with Dorna boss Carmelo Ezpeleta to keep it alive for the next three seasons.

“It’s with great pleasure that I can announce the extension of the Jerez Grand Prix for a further three years. It is one of the key stops on the MotoGP calendar with an atmosphere bar none that attracts huge crowds from near and afar. It is also a popular venue with the riders, as the track’s nature makes it a great spectacle for some of the best racing in the world," said Ezpeleta.
