The Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia will continue to host MotoGP through to the end of 2031, after penning a new five-year deal with Dorna Sports.
Since its debut on the MotoGP calendar in 1999, Valencia has witnessed numerous historic moments including Sete Gibernau’s first premier-class win in 2001, Nicky Hayden’s unforgettable 2006 title victory over Valentino Rossi, and Marc Marquez securing his maiden MotoGP crown in 2013.
The circuit currently has a deal up to the end of 2026 that ensures it hosts a race every year, with that now being extended to the end of 2031 when a new five-year contract comes into force from the 2027 season.
The new agreement, signed by Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta and Generalitat Valenciana president Carlos Maño, ensures that Valencia will remain a fixture on the MotoGP schedule for five additional years beyond the previously agreed 2026 deadline.
The flooding hit just weeks before MotoGP was due to stage its season-ending Valencia Grand Prix.
However, extensive reconstruction work has since been carried out, with renovations set to be completed by the summer.
While the grand prix wasn’t cancelled straight away, there was strong opposition from the likes of Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez about MotoGP even attempting to stage the event.
The race was ultimately cancelled, with the season finale moved to Barcelona and run as the Solidarity Grand Prix in tribute to those affected by the Valencia flooding.
The circuit is now back up and running, while it has also received help from the TT Circuit Assen to replace damaged track machinery – which now bear the logo of the Dutch venue as a tribute.
The 2025 Valencia GP will close out the season on 16 November, with those who purchased tickets for last year’s race able to roll them back to this season.
