MotoGP Calendar Inflation Continues: Kazakhstan To Join Provisional Calendar In 2023, India To Hold Race In Near Future

The MotoGP calendar continues to expand. Today, Dorna announced in an unusually brief press release that the Sokol International Racetrack, 50 kilometers north  east of Almaty in Kazakhstan, is to be added to the MotoGP calendar for 2023 for a five-year period. The Kazakh track is still in the process of being built, and so will face homologation and safety checks before the race will be confirmed as happening in 2023.

The race in Kazakhstan will take the slot vacated by the now defunct Kymiring in Finland, which failed due to its business case collapsing when Russia invaded Ukraine. That means it will be held in July, two weeks after the Dutch TT in Assen, and three weeks before the series resumes at Silverstone. Its inclusion will bring the calendar up to 21 races. The calendar is set to be published at the end of this week.

After the downpour on Saturday morning, conditions continued to worsen throughout the final practice session for the intermediate class, but that did not fully halt progress on the timesheets. While Friday’s hierarchy was never under threat, the lead in FP2 changed hands a few times, until it stayed with Fermín Aldeguer for the final couple of minutes. Tony Arbolino dropped to second after a hairy moment late on, while Aron Canet settled for third and retreated to pitlane before the end of the session to prepare for Q1.
