MotoGP Schedule Reduced

After dropping Shanghai to make room for a round in Hungary, the new Balatonring circuit won't be ready in time, due to financial issues and rough winter weather, and has asked to be excused from the 2009 calendar. GP's were previously held in Hungary at the Hungaroring near Budapest in 1990 and 1992 (1: Lawson, 2: Chandler, 3: Mamola). The plan is now to have Balatonring ready in time for 2010. The September 20th race has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled for another venue. With the Misano race previously moved forward one week from it's original date (13 Sep), that now leaves a month long break in September. Here's the revised 2009 MotoGP calendar:

12 April - Losail
26 April - Motegi
03 May - Jerez
17 May - Le Mans
31 May - Mugello
14 June - Catalunya
27 June - Assen
05 July - Laguna Seca
19 July - Sachsenring
26 July - Donington Park
16 August - Brno
30 August - Indianapolis
06 September - Misano
