MotoGP: 22 races, a record, on the program for the 2024 season

The calendar for the 2024 MotoGP season was published on Wednesday and will include a record number of 22 races in 18 countries, including the return of the Aragon GP and the presence of Kazakhstan, canceled in 2023 but back on the program.

This year, the initial calendar included 21 races, but it was reduced to 20, the same number as in 2022, after the cancellation of the Kazakh round due to the delay in the development of the new Sokol circuit.

The principle of rotation of the five races on the Iberian Peninsula, applied in 2023, was not renewed in 2024 since there will be one round in Portugal and four in Spain with Jerez, Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Aragon, contested on the Motorland circuit in Alcaniz and who therefore returns after a year of absence.

India, which the paddock discovered last week and which left a good impression on the drivers despite initial fears about safety, is also on the 2024 calendar.

The season will begin on March 10 in Qatar, outside Europe, as always since 2007 except this year, where Portugal hosted the first round due to renovation work on the Losail circuit, which will host next November the front -last GP of the 2023 season.

After the Persian Gulf, the paddock will stop in the Algarve, before the two American rounds, in Argentina and the United States, then it will return to Europe for the GPs of Spain, France, Catalonia and Italy.

In mid-June, he will then make a foray into Central Asia, in Kazakhstan, before returning to the Old Continent for summer races in the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, Austria, Aragon and Misano (GP of San Marino).

MotoGP will take off in the fall for Asia and Oceania with two series of three consecutive GPs, India-Indonesia-Japan then Australia-Thailand-Malaysia. Finally, the season will end as usual in Valencia, at the Ricardo Tormo circuit, on November 17.

To compensate for the possible cancellation of one of the events, Balaton Park (Hungary) was designated as a reserve circuit by Dorna, organizer of the MotoGP championship.
