The CEO of Dorna, Carmelo Ezpeleta, suggested a new-look calendar in 2025 to accommodate the positive growth of MotoGP globally and to give the British Grand Prix a bigger platform for success. With Qatar likely to miss hosting the season opener due to Ramadan in 2025, speculations are rife about which circuit will kick off the championship, with possibilities including Jerez or Portimao. Additionally, uncertainty surrounds the inclusion of certain races like the rearranged Sokol circuit in Kazakhstan, adding intrigue to the upcoming MotoGP season. The fluidity of the calendar highlights the unpredictability of the sport and keeps fans eagerly anticipating the official announcements.
