Tech3, which gave KTM two of its three MotoGP victories last season, is set to agree a new five-year contract extension to remain as the Austrian factory's Independent partner for the 2022-2026 seasons.

LCR has become the latest team to officially confirm its place on the MotoGP grid for the next five-year contract cycle with Dorna and IRTA, from 2022-2026.

MotoGP's initial response to the coronavirus crisis will be a technical freeze until the 2022 season , but the cost-cutting measures can't end there.

With the ongoing coronavirus forcing MotoGP organisers to reshuffle the 2020 calendar, Carmelo Ezpeleta says nothing has been ruled out to deliver a full campaign including racing until Christmas.

The International Race Teams Association (IRTA) has voted the Austrian Grand Prix as the best of the 2019 season. The vote does not reflect the quality of the track action, but rather the standard of facilities and organisation as judged by those that work for the teams.

"When the minutes arrived, [it turned out] that the MSMA decision was not unanimous. It was by majority" - Carmelo Ezpeleta.

"We're pleased to renew our collaboration with IRTA for five years from 2012 as we'll be entering a new era of the MotoGP World Championship"

Jerez has been voted the 2009 IRTA 'Best Grand Prix' of the MotoGP World Championship season.
