The inaugura🐻l Thailand MotoGP is set to be held on October 5-7.

The date is listed on the provisional 2018 MotoGP calendar💦, which confirms the Buriram round as the only new addition ಌto the present 18-race line-up.

As rumoured, Thailand ൩will precede the usual Japan-Australia-Malaysia run, with a weekend ꧑off separating the new event from the established triple header.

The British MotoGP is set for its usual late-August date, but with the venue still to be decided following the Circuit of Wales fallout. The choice is understood to ꦑbe continue with Silver🌄stone under a new deal or switch to Donington Park.

The 2018 season is pencilled-in to start in Qatar on Marc💜h 18th (one week earlier than this year) and finish at Valencia on November 18th (one week later).

However, th✨e summer break has been slashed from four weekends off to just two.

Finland is due t🍒o join the MotoGP calendar in 2019...
