Gran Premio de España
The Spanish Grand Prix at Circuito de Jerez is the fifth season round and first race on European soil. Built in 1986, the Circuito de Jerez has become one of the most legendary venues in the MotoGP calendar, offering one of the lowest average speeds on the calendar despite two fast corners and being technically very demanding. The track is traditionally the start of the European season in motorcycle racing and ranks among the most popular courses for testing in all three classes, being used for this purpose practically year-round. The circuit near Spain's Atlantic coast enjoys high popularity with fans, riders and teams due to its outstanding atmosphere and almost always good weather.
