’Scooters returning to Speedway

This year’s MOTO GP event at the Speedway was potentially the last, albeit I’d attended the ’10 event since it was the theoretical end of the initial three-year contract... And Jeffery Belskus said nothing could be decided since Dorna Sports, the commercial rights holder was in limbo due to scheduling conflicts - whatever that means...

As the news means there’ll potentially be three rounds of MOTO GP being hosted stateside in 2013 when Austin begins its ten year run, as I’m assuming Laguna Seca will remain on the calendar...
