'The region will be a new pitstop for MotoGP as the sport continues to expand around the world, engaging with n♎ew markets and fanbases,' read a statement from MotoGP commercial rights holders Dorna Sports.
'Kazakhstan will also become the 30th country to host a motorcycle Grand Prix since 1♔949, a perfect landmark number to celebrate the ever-expanding history of the world’s first motorsport World Championship, and Sokol International Racetrack will be the 74th venue to host a premier cla꧟ss Grand Prix.'
No date was provided&ꦍnbsp;for the new event, with a provisional 2023 MotoGP calendar yet to be released, but mid-summer has been rumoured.
The Kazakhstan deal follows hot-on-the-heels of commitments for future MotoGP rounds in India and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Saudi Arabia.
The current Mo🐭toGP calendar consists of 20-ro🐟unds, after the postponement of Finland.
However&nbsಞp;Spanish circuits Valencia, B꧅arcelona and Aragon have already agreed to host events in alternate years, if required due to an expanding calendar.
The current contract between Dor🐽na and the Moto꧙GP teams is thought to allow for a maximum of 22 rounds.
