Today, February 18, the FIM released the following details regarding changes to the 17 round 2005 MotoGP World Championship.
Following the absence of a signed contract between event organizers, the Rio Grand Prix has been cancelled. The Portuguese Grand Prix, which was initially due to be run on October 23, will now fill the void left in the calendar by the former Brazilian event, due to be held on April 17.
As a result a new addition will feature on the 2005 calendar with the Turkish Grand Prix confirmed for October 23. The second last race of the year will be held on the new circuit in Istanbul.
The MotoGP World Championship calendar is therefore as follows:
April 10 – Spain, Jerez de la Frontera
April 17 – Portugal, Estoril
May 1 – China, Shanghai
May 15 – France, Le Mans
June 5 – Italy, Mugello

LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE POWER TO DESTROY YOU, BUT TRUSTING THEM NOT TO DO IT.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, what a ride!
