Dorna Sports has agreed a new contract with the government of the Santiago del Estero Province, which means that MotoGP will continue to visit the Termas de Rio Hondo racetrack in Argentina for another three seasons.

The agreement was made public today, with Dorna Sports operations manager Carles Jorba speaking at a press conference and saying that “It’s true, for the first time we will have stability, with everyone working hard since the beginning in 2014. This extension (until 2021) will allow us to take advantage of all the work we’ve done, and because we know how important the South American market is for MotoGP. Riders, teams and manufacturers feel that this race is now stabilized, and all the changes done have been made in continuity and they like them and the layout of this racetrack”.

The Termas de Rio Hondo track has been a regular in the MotoGP calendar since 2014, with fans and riders praising the layout of this Argentinian track. The objective is to complete this new three year deal, and Dorna will surely like to maintain South America as part of the MotoGP season, even though there are a lot of other circuits trying to secure a spot on the calendar.
