"It’s with great pleasure that I can announce the extension of the Jerez Grand Prix for a further three years," Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta explained on Friday. "It is one of the key stops on the MotoGP calendar with an atmosphere bar none that attracts huge crowds from near and afar.

"It is also a popular venue with the riders, as the track’s nature makes it a great spectacle for some of the best racing in the world."

It was also confirmed on Friday that the German Grand Prix at Sachsenring has been moved back a week to July 14, in a bid to avoid a conflict with an expected F1 event.
