JAKARTA - After successfully becoming the location for the World Superbike (WSBK) in November 2021, the Mandalika Circuit is again believed to be the venue for another prestigious international event, MotoGP.

The MotoGP organizers have chosen the Mandalika Circuit as the venue for the 2022 MotoGP test session before the new premier class season begins at the Losail Circuit on March 6, 2022.

Reporting from Crush, MotoGP will hold a number of test sessions ahead of the 2022 season, starting with a shakedown test that is only for factory teams this season.

The Shakedown test itself will be held from January 31 to February 2 at the Mandalika Circuit. Three days later after the shakedown, all MotoGP riders will depart for the Sepang Circuit, Malaysia on 5-6 February 2022.

Then, the riders returned to Indonesia to take part in the second test session at the Mandalika Circuit which took place on 11-13 February. The agenda then continued with the Indonesian MotoGP at the Mandalika Circuit on March 20, followed by the Argentine MotoGP at the Termas de Rio Hondo Circuit as the initial three series.

The official MotoGP test session will resume on May 2 at the Jerez Circuit or after the Spanish MotoGP at the Jerez Circuit on May 1. After three European MotoGP races in France, Italy and Catalunya, the official test is back at the Barcelona Circuit which takes place on June 6.

So far the test at the Misano Circuit is the last one, which is on September 6-7, after the San Marino MotoGP at the Misano Circuit, or before the Aragon MotoGP at the Aragon Circuit.
