The MotoGP World Championship returns to European soil to dispute the last appointment of the 2022 calendar: the Comunitat Valenciana Grand Prix , from November 4 to 6.
Riders and teams have been able to enjoy a rest weekend before traveling to the already classic Cheste track, after having spent five weeks touring Asia.
The season could not get any more exciting in Valencia, with the MotoGP and Moto2 title still to be decided. Pecco Bagnaia is postulated as the favorite , since it is enough for him to add two points to secure the crown. Fabio Quartararo, however, has the obligation to win, and also to wait for his rival to make a mistake that allows him to retain his title. Aleix Espargaró and Enea Bastianini, for their part, already ran out of options when they left Malaysia.
In Moto2 it will be Augusto Fernández and Ai Ogura who will play for the championship. The Spaniard arrives in the lead, after the Japanese crashed on the last lap of Sepang.

How and where to watch the Valencia GP of MotoGP 2022 in Cheste
To watch the MotoGP Valencia GP in Spain, like the rest of the world championship, the only legal option is through DAZN , the owner of the rights, through the platform itself or with the Movistar + sports package, which they offer the same service.
But if you don’t want that option, in Spain you can access the Videopass , the official MotoGP service where you can follow all the races live and direct. The price of the Videopass is €139.99 per year, although its content is exclusively in English.
Of course, we can’t help but recommend our website, Motorsport.com, as we will have several journalists on the circuit to tell you first-hand about everything that happens in Cheste.
