Mika Kallio is keeping his fingers crossed that everything 🐻goes to plan and Finland returns to the MotoG🦋P calendar, as scheduled, in 2019.

Last August it was officiallಌy announced that Finland would be hosting a MotoGP from 2019-2023 at the KymiRing motorsports venue, 'which is currently under construction'.

A month later the Minister for European Affairs, Culture and Sport visited the track and Kallio hopes the government can be persuaded to help push the project to🐈 the 'Finnish' line on time.

"I've never been so much [directly] involved about what happens there [with the KymiRing project], but of course more or less I kno♑w the situation, where it's going, and I still hope that they can finalise everything on time," Kallio said at the recent Thailand test.

"It seems that they are struggling a little bit with the budget, like usual with a new race track th💮ere's always a question about the budget and money.

"But hopeful🤪ly they can get the government a little bit behind the project and with this help hopefully they can finalise things."

Assuming all goes to plan with construction of the trac🦹k, local star Kallio - KTM's official test rider - is all but certain to get a wild-card for the 2019 Finnish MotoGP.

Before that, he will take part in at🦂 least five races during this year's world championship.

"At the moment the plan is for five races. So I will start fro🐲m Jerez and then it will be Barcelona, Germany, Austria and Aragon," Kallio explained.

"Yeah it would be good [to race at Buriram as well] but we already decided that all the races♔ I will do will be in Europe. That's easier for us.

"But you never know what can happen in the season and there is a maximum of six races that the test rider can do. So we still have one left a🍎fter those five, so maybe we can use that also… you never know."

The ne💙w Thailand Grand Prix means this year's MotoGP calendar will consist of 19 rounds.

Finland's arrival the following year will be balanced by one less official pre-season test, although other countries are also in talks for a new MotoGP, including the long-running discussions with Indonesia and the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:recent revelation of a poteᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚntial 'city-💫race'.
