MXGP Calendar Update: No race in San Marino!
Just over a month ago, the official calendar for the Grand Prix circus was released. A trip to the dwarf state of San Marino was then planned for July 9. However, this Grand Prix will not take place in 2017. This reduces the total of races in 2017 from 20 to 19. If all goes well, San Marino will be on the calendar in 2018. The Italian Grand Prix of Maggiora and the Grand Prix of Trentino, also held in Italy in Pietramurata, will also change from date. This means that the Trentino Grand Prix will now take place in mid-April and the Italian Grand Prix in Maggiora on June 25. The championship will now also end one week earlier. The planned date of September 24 for the Grand Prix of Villars sous Ecot has been brought forward to September 17 in this update.
In the secondary categories we see that the EMX125 pilots who would normally have made the trip to Russia are spared this trip. They will compete in Sweden instead of the beautiful course in Russia. The reverse change will happen again for the EMX300 class, which will be able to enjoy themselves on the Orlyonok course.
