MOTOGP: Texas Bound In 2013

The freshly dubbed 'Circuit of the Americas' has officially netted itself a second major international event as confirmation came this afternoon that the MotoGP World Championship will be headed to Austin, TX in 2013.
The announcement of the 10-year-agreement is a major coup for the brand-new venue as MotoGP is widely considered the second biggest international motorsports series trailing only F1. Landing both championships right off the bat lends considerable legitimacy to the project.
The Circuit of the Americas is set to become only the fourth venue in the United States to ever host a Motorcycle Grand Prix World Championship round, joining Daytona International Speedway, Laguna Seca, and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The United States currently hosts two MotoGP rounds.
The championship has visited Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca uninterrupted since 2005, the year it replaced World Superbike at the spectacular circuit, ending a ten-year drought during which the Motorcycle Grand Prix World Championship did not race in the States.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway joined the tour in 2008, marking the first motorcycle race at the fabled venue since its first month of operation one hundred years earlier.
