Race calendar and results

[edit]

The calendar for the 2015 season was announced on 20 October 2014, on the final day of the 2014 season.[32] The championship returned to Silverstone and Le Mans, replacing rounds at Moscow Raceway and Paul Ricard. Three of the season's seven meetings were held as a triple-header format, amassing to a total of seventeen races.[33] On 11 February 2015, it was announced that the Silverstone round would be moved back a week due to the circuit reacquiring the rights to host the British round of the 2015 MotoGP season.[34]
