Youthstream has released provisional information on the 2016 MXGP World Championship calendar, to be held over a mammoth 19 rounds next year.

While the location of four rounds are yet to be advised and the German and Swedish GPs are to be confirmed, the landscape of the calendar has taken shape.

There’s no indication Australia will feature on the 2016 grand prix calendar, despite Youthstream president Giuseppe Luongo linking the series to an Australian return next year during a press conference at the 2014 Motocross of Nations.
