About MotoGP Valencian Grand Prix 2026
The MotoGP Valencian Grand Prix at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo is the traditional season finale, held at Cheste just west of Valencia, where the entire paddock gathers to crown champions and bid farewell to departing riders in a ceremony as much as a race. Valencia city, around 25 kilometres east, is the obvious and excellent base — Spain's third city offers the City of Arts and Sciences, the vast Mercat Central, a magnificent old town and the cooking tradition that gave the world paella.
Metro and shuttle buses run to the circuit on race days. Book Valencia hotels early; the finale fills the city and prices rise sharply for the most emotionally charged weekend of the MotoGP year.

History
The Valencian Grand Prix is traditionally the final round of the MotoGP season, staged at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo at Cheste, just west of Valencia. Opened in 1999 and named after the Valencian rider Ricardo Tormo, the compact, stadium-like circuit is ringed by grandstands that give spectators a view of almost the entire lap, creating an intense, amphitheatre atmosphere.
As the season closer it has witnessed countless title deciders and emotional farewells — most famously in 2006, when Valentino Rossi crashed out of the lead of the championship to hand the crown to Nicky Hayden, one of the sport's most dramatic finales. The tight, twisting layout places a premium on corner speed and braking rather than outright power, often producing close, tactical racing.
With the paddock gathering to crown champions and bid goodbye to departing riders, the Valencia weekend carries an emotional charge unmatched elsewhere on the calendar, and the nearby city offers a superb base for fans.
