Dorna boss in “no doubt” all 2025 MotoGP race will go ahead
MotoGP🉐 hopes to stage a record 22 round𒈔 this season
Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta says he is in “no doubt𝓰” that all 22 grand prix events will run in 2025 as preparations continue for Moto🍎GP’s return to Hungary.
This year’s calendar is due to be the lon🍎gest in history, but isn’t the first time Dorna has tried to stage 22 event♐s.
Last yಞear’s calendar was originally slated to fea🍌ture 22 events, before Argentina and India were cancelled due to financial reasons and Kazakhstan dropped off the schedule due to flooding in the region.
The 2023 calendar was due to feature Hungary and Kazಞakhstan, while in years before that Finland was continually scheduled and then dropped, before the COVID pandemic led to numerous calendar reshuffles in 2020 and 2021.
So far in 2025, all races have run to schedule, and the return of the Hungarian GP on 22-24 August is on course to take place as planned following completion 𒊎of layout tweak⛎s to Balaton Park recently.
In an interview with G👍POne, Carmelo Ezpeleta is confident of the entire 22-round calendar going ahead as planned and foresees no issues with the Hungarian GP going ahead.
“Barring any unforeseen events, we will hold ꩲall scheduled grand prix events this year,” he said.
“I have no doubt about that.
“ꦐEverything is going according to plan in Hungary.
“Our people were there last week, and the construction work will be complet𝓀ed on time. We’re not worried, especially since the Superbike World Championship will be there on the last weekend of July.”
MotoGP is set to return to Brazil next year for the first time since 2004 at the Ayrton Senna circuit in Goiania, having held a demonstrati🃏on event at the venue in March.
Ezpeleta not🦹es that the circuit doesn’t need much work but does require the facilities to be completely overhauled to hꦉost a MotoGP round.
It will likely fill the ⛎slot set to be vacated by the Argentina GP, which is due to drop🤪 off the calendar again next season.
The Indian GP is set to return to the calendar in 2026 after “operational circu🎃mstances” forced the event off the 2024 and 2025 schedules.
