IN THE WIND P36 MotoGP Calendar Update T he FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports can now reveal an updated calendar for the 2021 FIM MotoGP World Championship as the beginning of another season of racing appears on the hori- zon, with testing action set to get underway in just over a month. The season opening Grand Prix in Qatar re- mains confirmed for the 26th to the 28th of March and it will now be followed by a second event, the Grand Prix of Doha, at the same Losail Interna- tional Circuit the following weekend, April 2-4. The Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Por- tugal will then host the third round of the Champion- ship, April 16-18 before the paddock heads to the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto as previously planned. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns and complications sadly oblige the postponement of both the Argentina GP and the Americas GP until the last quarter of 2021. Any further updates or changes will be provided as soon as available.
