MotoGP bosses have this morning revealed the provisional 2019 calendar which has no massive changes to this season’s in terms of venues

It kicks off on March 10 at Losail and ends, as usual, at Valencia in mid-November with a proposed race in Mexico quietly dropped after much rider protest.

Finland’s KymiRing track, which had been due to host its first MotoGP round, will not be completed in time to join the calendar

After riders criticised the too-short summer break, a month gap between races has been installed by making the Assen and Sachsenring rounds back-to-back, the latter taking place a week earlier than in 2018.
