Valencia Grand Prix Opens With DGT Traffic Operation as Acosta Tops Friday

The Moto2 title remains open with Diogo Moreira targeting the points he needs on Sunday.

Overview

  • MotoGP returns to Circuit Ricardo Tormo from November 14–16 after last year's flood cancellation, with organizers expecting roughly 200,000 attendees across the weekend.
  • Spain’s DGT has activated a special plan featuring roadside controls, a live‑feed drone and three Pegasus‑equipped helicopters, plus time‑limited restrictions for heavy goods vehicles on key routes.
  • Access maps set four routes (A–D) with reserved taxi entry, reinforced Cercanías C‑3 service and a BusForFun shuttle capable of up to 400 buses with priority lanes; on‑site camping is not enabled and motorhomes may only park with nightly clearance.
  • Pedro Acosta led Friday practice in MotoGP as Marc Márquez, already world champion, sits out track action recovering from a shoulder injury; in Moto2, leader Diogo Moreira heads toward a Sunday decider after finishing outside the top 14 on Friday and facing Q1.
  • AEMET forecasts a high chance of rain around midday Saturday, and fans can watch the event free via Atresmedia’s channels and DAZN with registration.
