Full Race Calendar
| Rd | Track | Country | Date | Status | 820RR Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Phillip Island | Australia | Feb 20 - 22 | completed | Fast flowing circuit with long straights. The 820RR's 135hp triple delivered strong top-end speed, though the debut weekend was hampered by setup challenges. Promising pace shown in sectors 2 and 3. |
| 2 | Portimão | Portugal | Mar 27 - 29 | completed | Historic double victory! The 820RR's torque-rich triple dominated Portimão's undulating layout. Superior drive out of slow corners and 4.1s margin in Race 1 proved the package's championship potential. |
| 3 | Assen | Netherlands | Apr 17 - 19 | upcoming | High-speed corners dominate at Assen. The 820RR's chassis stability through the Ruskenhoek and Stekkenwal will be crucial. Triple's broad torque curve should excel on the flowing layout. |
| 4 | Balaton | Hungary | May 1 - 3 | upcoming | Technical circuit with tight corners. The 820RR's agile handling and mid-range punch should shine here. Watch for strong drives out of the slower sections where the triple's torque advantage is maximized. |
| 5 | Most | Czech Republic | May 15 - 17 | upcoming | 21 corners in 4.2km demands precise direction changes. The 820RR's compact chassis should excel through the chicanes. Heavy braking zones will test the Brembo package's consistency. |
| 6 | Aragon | Spain | May 29 - 31 | upcoming | Longest circuit on the calendar. The back straight favors top speed, where the 820RR's 135hp will be tested. The technical final sector with its downhill corners requires precise throttle control. |
| 7 | Misano | Italy | Jun 12 - 14 | upcoming | Italian home soil for many rivals. Misano's flat layout and tight hairpins suit the 820RR's torque delivery. The fast Curvone will test high-speed stability—a known strength of the 820RR chassis. |
| 8 | Donington | United Kingdom | Jul 10 - 12 | upcoming | Classic British circuit with the iconic Craner Curves. The 820RR's neutral handling through fast sweepers will be key. Rain is often a factor—traction control mapping could decide the outcome. |
| 9 | Magny-Cours | France | Sep 4 - 6 | upcoming | Championship decider? The famous Adelaide hairpin is a braking battlefield. 820RR's triple-cylinder engine braking characteristics could provide an edge into this critical overtaking spot. |
| 10 | Cremona | Italy | Sep 25 - 27 | upcoming | Shortest circuit on the calendar. Traffic will be critical in qualifying. The 820RR's punchy acceleration out of slow corners should deliver strong lap times on this tight, technical layout. |
| 11 | Estoril | Portugal | Oct 9 - 11 | upcoming | Portugal return after Portimão glory. Estoril's long main straight and tight infield create a setup compromise. The 820RR's top speed advantage will be tested against the R6 and ZX-6R on the straight. |
| 12 | Jerez | Spain | Oct 16 - 18 | upcoming | Season finale at a MotoGP venue. Jerez rewards precision through its flowing corners. The 820RR's balanced chassis should excel here—if the title fight goes down to the wire, expect fireworks. |
