Now Indianapolis has also been taken out of MotoGP calendar from 2016 season. There is no news when MotoGP paddock and riders will be seen again on this circuit.

Reason for not coming back to Indianapolis during 2016 MotoGP season is not very clear. One of the main reason is the tremendous logistics involved, which is not viable for a single race.

2016 MotoGP season will have 18 rounds and Circuit of the Americas will continue being on calendar. Laguna Seca is expected to be ready in a couple of years and action could return to this legendary circuit.
