As expected, the Chinese round of MotoGP at Shanghai is off the calendar, and as predicted earlier this week, the Hungarian Grand Prix will take place in late summer. But the calendar has a lot of significant shakeups: Motegi moves from late September to the spring, June is a lot less busy, with only 2 lots of back-to-back races in 2009, rather than three pairs which we saw this year. The British Grand Prix moves from June to late July, and Estoril switches back to October.

July 4th in the USA!
So, the World is coming to us to celebrate Independence Day? What a treat!
And a shortened "Summer Break"...
That looks like the most reasonable schedule I've seen in a few years.
