Four riders got their first experience of the Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna on Monday.

The Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna hosted a MotoGP event on Monday ahead of the series' return to the country in 2026.

It was announced in December that MotoGP had agreed to a five-year deal with the circuit to bring MotoGP back to Brazil for the first time since 2004.

MotoGP staged the latest event at the circuit with MotoGP riders Franco Morbidelli and Luca Marini, as well as Brazilian riders Diogo Moreira and Eric Granado.

Dorna's Chief Sporting Officer, Carlos Ezpeleta says the track is 'made for MotoGP, but admits that work still needs to be done ahead of next year's Grand Prix.

"We’re super happy, we think it’s been a great event," he said.

"We’re thankful to the government of Goias. The layout is a layout made for MotoGP. Of course, there’s a lot of things the circuit has to do in the next 12 months but we’re really happy.

"The fans have been amazing and we’re really happy about the hospitality and reception MotoGP has had here in Brazil."

Dorna CCO Dan Rossomondo added: "It’s great to see the support and it’s great to see that there is an audience here, we just have to build on that.

"I’ve said a lot, sports is one of the last bastions of communal activity that brings people together. And seeing the passion these fans have for our sport and seeing our riders react to that makes us excited to come back here in a year."

Honda’s Luca Marini also believes the circuit will be one of the fastest on the calendar.

"I think it’s a super-fast track," he said.

"Maybe the average speed is the fastest in the MotoGP calendar. In a track like this where you can see many corners from the grandstands, it will also be amazing for the fans and we will try to bring them the best show possible."
