After several🍬 false starts, ܫmight MotoGP have finally found a destination for its long-awaited return to Indonesia?

The Indonesia Tourism Dꦓevelopment Corporation (ITDC) confirmed that Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta and Sporting Director Carlos Ezpeleta visited Bali between the Australian and Malaysian MotoGPs.

During their stay, the pair accomp𝄹anied ITDC CEO and President Abdulbar M. Mansoer to the nearby Island of Lombok to inspect the Mandalika area, where a tourism project is currently under development by the ITDC:

'Specifically, for this trip, Dorna was visiting a possible location for hosting future Motorbike Race Event🍌s within the 1,175-ha integr🍎ated tourism estate'.

“Mr Carmelo Ezpeleta was primarily at the Nusa Dua for a well-deserved break at the Bali National Golf Club before heading out to Kuala Lumpur for the Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang," reꩵad a statement from Mansoer.

"It was not his first time to the Island as he visited the Nusa Dua around two years prior𒉰 bef♐orehand.

"For this visit, during his busy schedule and on route between the two races, he wanted to visi༒t Bali as well as Lombok, where we welcomed him to the Mandalika and presented a potential concept to host future Motorbike Race Events.

"His visit was brief, but we believe that he sincerely enjoyed his break and of course we woul෴d be very happy to welcome him back to Bali and Lombok in the n♌ear future.”

T🌃he Lombok plans follow MotoGP's extensive searcඣh for an Indonesian venue.

Sentul would require massive renovation, while a brand-new permanent facility (as proposed at Palembang, Sumatra) is thought to be too expensive to main🧸tain.
