Dorna boss brands 2026 MotoGP calendar ‘one of the better ones in
Dorna’s chief sporting officer Carlos Ezpeleta praised the 2026 MotoGP calendar as one of the best schedules in recent years, revealed on Thursday with 22 rounds, including the new Brazilian Grand Prix replacing the Argentina Grand Prix at Termas de Rio Honda.
The Ayrton Senna circuit will host Brazil’s first event since 2004 as the second round of the calendar, starting in Thailand and concluding in Valencia from March to late November.
Ezpeleta highlighted the positive changes for the MotoGP family, especially the addition of Brazil, a major market with a lot of potential, aiming for greater success in 2026 after a successful Thai event this year.
The calendar features date shifts for the Catalan, British, and Austrian Grands Prix, eliminating triple-headers for reduced team and rider stress, and providing a longer summer break for relaxation between the German and British Grands Prix next year.
Overall, the 2026 calendar aims to please the MotoGP community, with improvements, new additions, and strategic changes to enhance the racing experience and support the well-being of all involved.
