T📖he legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit is studying the possibility of a return to the MotoGP calendar.

Spa hos൲ted the Belgian motorcycle grand prix from 1949 to 1990 and new circuit director Nathalie Maillet revealed preliminary talks have taken place over a future event for the modern MotoGP four-strokes.

"I want to get some big events like MotoGP. I recently spent a day in Madrid to discuss with the MotoGP organisers [Dorna]," Maillet told . "Bradley Smith rode a ꦿ500cc bike last summer at Spa.

"I am going to study the amenities needed to welcome back bikes - organising both Formula 1 and MotoGP - more deeply this year. Notably th𓃲e levဣel of profitability and economic return for the region.

"It [MotoGP] would not be until 2020.ꦐ I am aiming for the long🐟 term."

Former grand prix racer Didier De Radigues, who won his home 250cc round at Spa i🥀n 1990, added:

"If the project succeeds, it would beꦬ just fantastic! The Spa layout contrasts with the other sanitised circuits of today🌺, most of which are created by the same designers.

"For a motorcycle rider, Spa is one of the circuits which gives the most pleasure. It would quickly ওfo♓rge a special place in the calendar and become as mythical as for Formula 1.

"On the straight following Raidillon the riders would probably reach a maximum speed approaching 350km/h, as at Mugello or Sepang for example, ♕but it is the long fast corners that would make Spa so special."

But he also wa🐬rned: "2020 sꩵeems to me very optimistic..."
