Times and where to watch on TV

The third Grand Prix of the season, the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas, is scheduled for the Circuit of the Americas in Austin this weekend. Below is the full schedule and where the event can be watched on TV in the Netherlands.

After two consecutive Grand Prix weekends in Portugal and Argentina, we had to wait a week, but next weekend the MotoGP world championship will be staged for the third round of the season at the famous Circuit of the Americas in Austin, United States. .

The time difference with the Netherlands is seven hours, so the action for Dutch fans can be followed from Friday afternoon and evening. Just like in Argentina, the starting field for MotoGP in America will not yet be complete and we will have to miss some regular MotoGP riders due to injuries. For example, Pol Espargaró, Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini will be out for the second consecutive Grand Prix weekend due to injuries sustained in Portimão. The trio will be replaced by Jonas Folger, Stefan Bradl and Michele Pirro respectively. Miguel Oliveira and Joan Mir, meanwhile, are back and will make a comeback after missing the Argentine Grand Prix or part of it.

On Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. local time (4:00 p.m. Dutch time), the Moto3 riders will open the 2023 edition of the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas at Circuit of the Americas with their first practice session.
