Spanish MotoGP replaces cancelled Hungary race

The MotoGP due to take place in Hungary this year has been replaced by a fourth race in Spain.

The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) said that the Hungarian round was being cancelled because construction work at the circuit would not be finished in time for the September 19 race.

UK newspaper The Guardian reports that the Grand Prix of Aragon at the Motorland Aragon circuit will replace it, on the same weekend.

Spain's other three MotoGP races are at Jerez in May, Barcelona in July, and Valencia in November.
