This, from MotoGP.com:
“No new circuits planned for provisional 2019 calendar
A first glimpse of next season will be revealed at the San Marino GP.
The provisional calendar for 2019 will soon be announced, with the initial release scheduled for the Gran Premio di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini on the 7th to 9th September. The calendar will be based on the current 19 Grands Prix contested in 2018.
That will lay further foundations for next year, with winter test dates already announced and the provisional calendar then getting us in gear for another stunning season.”
Ahem. Readers will recall the announcement several weeks ago that a Mexican round would be added in 2019 as the Finnish track will not be ready. Readers will also recall that Valentino Rossi immediately went on record opposing the addition, referring to it as a crappy track in a very dangerous neighborhood, i.e., Mexico.
We wondered at the time if Vale still had enough swing to override Carmelo Ezpeleta on this subject.

Apparently he does, along with a raft of other riders who weren’t super excited. They should count their Grand Prixs, they might find themselves one short based on this last weekend. But it was on the calendar, so they get a pass.

Seems to be. It worked, at least for a year.
