Provisional 2016 MotoGP calendar announced!
Moto GP has announced a provisional version of the 2016 calendar that confirms a new round will be held in Austria at the brand new Red Bull ring. This change will be at the expense of Indianapolis that has been dropped from the race calendar.
Indianapolis have been at the centre of rumours for a number of years about their possible exit from the championship, not helped by the dwindling numbers at the second American event.
The British Grand Prix at Silverstone has been significantly brought forward to mid-June, which could mean the MCE British Superbikes round at Cadwell can take place on the August bank-holiday once more, a big date on the calendar for many MCE BSB fans.
