Spa hosted 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 t✤he 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 rod𒅌e 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 the level 🏅of profitability and economic return for the region.

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

Former grand prix ra𝕴cer Didier De Radigues, who won his home 250cc round at Spa in 1990, added:

"If the project succeeds, it would be just fantastic! The Spa layout contrasts wiꦿth the other sanitised circuits of today𒀰, most of which are created by the same designers.

"For a motorcycle rider, Spa is one of the circuits which g💮ives the most pleasure. It would quickly forge 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 warn♛ed: "2020 seems to me very optimistic..."
