MotoGP: The provisional 2017 calendar has been released

MotoGP 2017 – The FIM has released the provisional calendar for the 2017 world championship. No major changes, it will start on March 26th in Qatar, where it will always be raced at night, while the first European race is scheduled for Jerez on May 7th.

The Italian Grand Prix which will take place at Mugello is set for 4 June (the following week we will immediately return to the track in Barcelona), while Misano will take place on 10 September.

The races in Austria and the Czech Republic have been reversed compared to 2016, with the Brno GP preceding the one at the Red Bull Ring. The season will end on November 12th in Valencia, a track that has recently renewed its contract with Dorna for another five years.
