The Jerez agreement until 2031 complicates MotorLand’s situation to host the MotoGP

The announcement of the Jerez Circuit, which has secured its presence in the MotoGP World Championship until 2031, has dealt a significant blow to MotorLand Aragón’s aspirations. The Alcañiz track, which was already facing difficulties in ensuring its continued presence in the championship 
from 2026 onwards, is now in an even more delicate position.

The agreement, reached between the Andalusian Regional Government, Jerez City Council, and Dorna , represents a significant blow to MotorLand’s aspirations. It has been confirmed that the continuation of Jerez, along with the Barcelona and Valencia circuits , would shape the MotoGP map in Spain for the coming years. Dorna had previously stated its intention to hold only two or three events in Spain, so these agreements would close the quota, leaving Alcañiz out of the initial plans.

MOTORLAND, INCREASINGLY FAR FROM ENSURING ITS CONTINUITY

The situation at MotorLand was already worrying before the Jerez announcement. Just a few weeks ago, Motorland’s president and Minister of the Environment, Manuel Blasco, admitted that it was still difficult to renew its contract and that it was difficult to reach an agreement to continue hosting the Aragon Grand Prix. Thus, in a plenary session of the Aragon Parliament, Blasco reiterated that they would not give up on remaining part of the World Championship , but acknowledged that it is a complicated and financially costly objective.

The added difficulty of consolidating Barcelona, ​​Valencia, and now Jerez as permanent venues further complicates the future of the Teruel track in the championship.

A LOSS WITH SERIOUS ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES

MotoGP ‘s continued presence at MotorLand isn’t just a matter of sporting prestige. Each Grand Prix has a vital economic impact on the Bajo Aragón region, boosting sectors such as hospitality, commerce, and tourism. The possible disappearance of the World Championship in Alcañiz would be a severe blow to the region.

While Jerez celebrates its renovation and breaks attendance records, MotorLand faces an uncertain countdown, in which it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a solution that will save its presence in MotoGP.
