The 2021 MotoGP season closes this weekend at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit. The first three places in the championship arrive in Cheste determined, but there are still things at stake. Ducati has already sentenced the constructors’ title in Portimao and here it will try to certify the teams’ title. In addition, the award for best rookie is still up in the air.
Pedro Acosta also sealed the Moto3 title in the last race, but the Moto2 title still has no owner. Remy Gardner arrives with everything in his favour, but Raúl Fernández will narrow down his options.
The weekend schedules are the usual ones for European events, with the MotoGP race as the main course on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. local time, the last one for Valentino Rossi. Before, on Thursday at 4:00 p.m., the Italian will give an exceptional press conference and at 5:00 p.m. will be the official one for the Valencian Community Grand Prix with Quartararo, Pecco Bagnaia, Joan Mir, Jack Miller and Alex Márquez.

How and where to watch the 2021 MotoGP Valencian Community GP
The last Grand Prix of the season will also not be broadcast openly on any television in Spain, so it can only be seen legally by paying for one of the three available options that have broadcast the entire MotoGP season.
To watch the Valencian Community Grand Prix in full on DAZN you will have to pay for €9.99 per month or €99.99 per year, although you can try it for free for one month with no commitment to stay and it also includes other sports such as F1 and WorldSBK.
If you are a Movistar + client with Fusion, for an extra 10 euros you can add the package with the motor channels and see the same content with the same team of commentators as on DAZN .
As an alternative, the MotoGP VideoPass is available. In this case, subscription costs €139.99 but in addition to this race it includes the entire 2022 season. Of course, the narration is in English.
And we remind you once again: any link you receive via Whatsapp, email or social networks is illegal.
