Following the cancellation of the Kazakhstan GP, the 2023 MotoGP season will now consist of 20 races.
The decision to postpone the race, which was set to take place in early July, was due to 'ongoing homologation works at the circuit, paired with current global operational challenges, have obliged the cancellation of the 2023 event' according to organisers.
As of now, no replacement race has been added to the schedule.
Here's what to expect from the 2023 MotoGP schedule, where and when the races are taking place and how to follow the action.
