The penultimate round of the 2021 MotoGP™ season is nearly here and we’re heading back to the spectacular Autodromo Internacional do Algarve for a second ride of the rollercoaster, with the premier class title already wrapped up by Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP).
However, that’s no reason to not tune into every ounce of action this weekend at the Grande Prémio Brembo do Algarve, with the Constructors, Teams, Rookie of the Year and Moto2™ and Moto3™ titles up for grabs. It’s set to be another belting weekend in Portugal, with track action getting underway on Friday morning with Moto3™ (09:00 – GMT+0), MotoGP™ (09:55) and Moto2™ (10:55) FP1s, before the FP2 sessions begin at 13:15 local time.
MotoGP™ FP3 – a potential shootout for the top 10 – gets going at 09:55 on Saturday morning before qualifying kicks off at 12:35 with Moto3™. MotoGP™ qualifying comes your way at 14:10, before Moto2™ ends Saturday’s proceedings at 15:10.
Then, the 17th race day of the year will get going on Sunday. Tune into Warm Ups from 09:00, before a potentially title-deciding Moto3™ race starts at the slightly later time of 11:20. MotoGP™ will be the second race of the day at 13:00 local time, with another hugely important Moto2™ race getting going at 14:30.
