The 2012 MotoGP calendar had the Jerez round tentatively scheduled for the second round of the season. The MotoGP just announced that a final agreement has been made with the city of Jerez that will see the MotoGP riders race in Spain during the last weekend in April.
Dorna Sports and the City of Jerez have reached an agreement that will firmly place the Jerez Circuit on the 2012 calendar. Negotiations will continue as organizers and Dorna hope to agree on terms that will see Jerez on the MotoGP calendar for the next four years.
"We are delighted to confirm that the 2012 Grand Prix of Spain will be held at the Circuito de Jerez, a very special locale for the MotoGP World Championship," said Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta. "I'd like to thank the Junta de Andalucía and Jerez de la Frontera City Council for their support in working toward securing this iconic event. We'll now look ahead to the future of the event and focus on working together to reach an agreement up until 2016."
