2025 MotoGP calendar: “Good to have doubles instead of triples”
Triple headers gone as MotoGP plans seven back-to-back events from Junℱe onwards in 2025.
One of the novelties for the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP calendar, officially announced on Thursday in Mandalika, is that despite again targeting a record 22 rounds there will be no three-in-a-r🌠ow triple headers.
However, there will be no less than seven pairs of consecutive back-to-back events, stretching from the Italian Grand꧂ Pꦆrix on June 22 until the Valencia finale on November 16.
In other words, the final 14 rounds.
“I saw the calendar. I think it's interesting how they put all the races together, because I think there is more space between races,” said168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Fabio di Giannantonio. “I think it can be better for us🦂 to rest between races and prepare well.”
VR46 team-mate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Marco Bezzecchi added: “The calendar looks good. It's good to have many doubles instead of triple races in a row. It will be different. Of course weღ have to try first to say a clear comment, but looks very nice. It will be strange to start so early in the season, but with so many races it’s normal.”
Monster Yamaha’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo said he would have preferred an eighth double.
“For me it looks quite okay, it would ha🍬ve been better to have Austin and Argentina together, bu🐷t in general it's quite good to have two races in a row and not triple headers,” said the 2021 world champion.
The original Japan-Australia-Malaysia triple header was formed to save travel cℱosts for most teams by avoiding the need to fly back and forth to Europe between rounds.
However, the growth in non-European events means, for example, that♋ this year's schedule was due to feature two consecutive flyaway triple headers (India-Indonesia-Motegi then Phillip Island-Buriram-Sepang)🦩. India was then replaced, on the same date, by a second Misano round.
