MotoGP Releases 2013 Schedule

There are still a few rounds left on the 2012 MotoGP circuit, but
FIM officials have already released the 2013 race schedule. Only a
few minor changes were made from the previous draft of the motorsports schedule.
With 19 rounds, the 2013 season will take riders and fans to 13
different countries, including a new American destination in
Austin, Texas. Aside from this addition, the only alteration to the
schedule is a date change for the German Grand Prix at Sachsenring.
That race was moved up a week to provide additional rest before
racers make a cross-continental trip to the United States for the
following round.
The only race left to be confirmed is Argentina. The country's
circuit is currently undergoing repairs, but officials are
confident that the work will be completed in time for MotoGP,
according to Moto Matters. However, there is some controversy, as
the Spanish government and the oil company Repsol are opposed to
traveling to the South American country. If Spain decides to issue
a formal warning to Repsol employees, they will not travel and the
race will be unable to go ahead.
Despite this unknown, it appears the 2013 schedule is, for the most
part, complete. MotoGP fans can look forward to the season kicking
off on March 31 and extending through to November 10.
