We had already had a small advance, but now it's official. In 2021 we will be able to enjoy two free-to-air MotoGP races in Spain, this time through Telecinco. They will be the Aragón and San Marino Grand Prix, whose broadcast has just been announced by the operator Mediaset, presumably through its star channel.
The confirmation has come in the promotional spot that Telecinco has made to publicize its products for the next television course. There we see how in the sports category they only announce these two MotoGP races, which will be held in September and practically consecutively.
All MotoGP races in September can be seen in the open
Mediaset already broadcasts the summaries of the MotoGP races through Be Mad, although with quite poor audience data compared to those who had these same pieces on Teledeporte last year. Even so, Mediaset is going to redouble its commitment to motorcycles with these two live events.
The Aragon Grand Prix is scheduled for the weekend of September 10-12 at the MotorLand circuit and will be the third Spanish round, while the San Marino Grand Prix will be held the following week, from September 17-19 in Misano, and could bring a big surprise under his arm.
The latest information suggests that Dani Pedrosa could run a MotoGP race again at the San Marino Grand Prix, in Misano, where KTM has already asked for a 'wild card'. So Pedrosa's return to MotoGP racing could be broadcast openly for all of Spain.
In addition, important information for users of DAZN, the payment platform, is that the Aragón and San Marino Grand Prix are the only ones that will be held in September, since the previous one, Great Britain, is the last weekend of August and the following, Japan, is the first of October. Whoever is only on DAZN for MotoGP can save a month.
Mediaset has been linked to the MotoGP World Championship since 2012, first broadcasting the entire world championship live and then with summaries. The only exception was last year, 2020, when TVE broadcast the two open races and the World Cup summaries. But now the bikes return to their usual home in recent years.
Although it is not confirmed, the logical thing is that it is Sergio Romero who continues to lead the Mediaset broadcasts, although we will see with which technical commentator. In the past there was Álvaro Bautista, but the Superbikes run in Barcelona-Catalunya coinciding with the San Marino Grand Prix.
