Details of the New Contract
According to a report by Visordown, the new deal ensures the MotoGP race will be held at Aragon for the 2025 season. After that, the circuit will be placed on the championship’s reserve list, ready to replace any venue that may be unable to host a race in subsequent years.

What Does This Mean for Fans?
Fans can attend the MotoGP race at Aragon in 2025, but after that, the circuit’s chances of hosting are not guaranteed and depend on need. Enthusiasts are advised to attend the upcoming race to be part of the event.
