The world of Grands Prix, after a first overseas campaign of three meetings, will return to the European continent, and its schedules, from this weekend. It is Jerez which will open this long period which some announce as a new beginning and a redistribution of the cards. We will see. But what is certain is that from this Spanish Grand Prix, Yamaha will want to put an end to a dark series of thirteen races without the slightest victory...
It is Dovizioso who comes first overall in MotoGP while bagnaia and Moto2 and Martin in Moto3 are leading the way in their respective categories. Last year in Jerez, Pedrosa had shown himself to be imperial in MotoGP by taking pole position before winning the race in front of his teammate Márquez, in both cases. Alex Marquez had dominated in Moto2 and George Martin in Moto3.
The Jerez weekend will also be marked by a whole series of festivities in tribute to Angel grandson, starting with the official renaming of the circuit...
