Aragon will feature for at least three years in a row on the MotoGP calendar after a new deal was struck.

A𒅌n €8m agreement was struck to guarantee 🌊a MotoGP round at Aragon in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Previously, the cir🍸cuit was only due to host a race three ti﷽mes over five years as part of a rotation of Spanish locations.

Work began o꧒n Ap🔯ril 1 to resurface the track at Motorland, one of the keys to the new deal.

The FIM demanded the kerbs to be replaced a♛t Turns 7, 10, 15 𒈔and 17.

The work, due toꦛ be completed by June, will cost the local authorit💟ies an extra €6.2m.

But🍷 research conducted by the Aragon Institute of Development suggests that the economic impact of hosting a MotoGP round is worth €47m to the local area.

The 2024 round at Aragon is ꦦset for August 30-S💖eptember 1.

Aragon is an a🐈utonomous region of north-east Spain, between the city of Valencia and the neighbouring country of Andorra.
