The provisional 2018 MotoGP calendar has just been released, giving fans a first glimpse at where – and when – each of the races next season will take place
The show begins under the floodlights in Qatar on 18th March, and Valencia brings down the curtain with the finale once more – but this time a little later, on 18th November.
And with the exciting addition of Buriram in Thailand, set to be the first of the flyaways, it’s now 19 races on an action-packed 2018 calendar.
