Round 22, 22 November, Circuit Ricardo Tormo. Four kilometres, fourteen corners and a grandstand that sees all of them.
The Valencia lap is 4.005 km with nine left-handers and five rights, and the Grand Prix runs to 27 of them. Brad Binder’s 1:30.145 from 2023 is the record. Grand Prix racing has been held here since 1999.
It is a circuit that rewards the rider who can carry a stopped bike through a long third gear corner, and it has settled more championships than any other venue on the calendar.
