Where and how to watch the 2021 MotoGP Spanish GP race

In Spain, you can only legally watch the 2021 MotoGP championship by paying. On the one hand, and perhaps the most comfortable, is to subscribe to DAZN for €9.99 per month or €99.99 per year (also with a free month without permanence).

The second offers the same content, and that is that Movistar + and DAZN this year have merged for motorsport and Movistar + subscribers can access the world championship, paying the 10 euros of the motor package and having, in advance, the base package and mobile and fixed telephony with Movistar.

Finally, we have to mention the option of the category itself, the VideoPass, which is priced at €139.99 per year and provides exclusive content.

The Ángel de Nieto circuit in Jerez, venue for the 2021 MotoGP Spanish GP

Located in the south of Spain, in Andalusia, the Jerez circuit was built in 1986 and since 1987 it has become a motorcycling landmark, where thousands and thousands of spectators usually gather during a weekend that, before the pandemic, it was completely festive.

Jerez is a well-known circuit for the drivers and teams, who use it (due to the conditions of the place where it is located and the nature of the track) as a venue for several tests during the year.

The Ángel Nieto de Jerez circuit consists of 13 curves, 5 to the left and 8 to the right, and since the sad death of the Spanish multi-champion, in August 2017, it bears his name. In addition, some curves have been named after drivers such as Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, Alex Crivillé or Sito Pons .

How have the MotoGP riders fared in Jerez?

Despite a bad run and a very negative start to the 2021 season, Valentino Rossi is the king of the Andalusian track.

Rossi has won no fewer than seven times at Jerez, most recently in 2016, and has taken five pole positions there. Only Jorge Lorenzo equals him in the Saturday statistics, while in wins he is followed by Marc Márquez and Lorenzo himself, with three.

In 2020, Jerez hosted the Spanish GP and the Andalusian GP, and in both the victory went to Fabio Quartararo, who also has three pole positions there.
