The International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) have confirmed the calendar for the 2014 MotoGP season, which will feature a race in South America for the first time in a decade.
The third race of the season will be staged at Termas de Rio Hondo in northern Argentina in April, while a race will also be held in Brazil in late September, providing the new circuit in the capital Brasilia is deemed fit for purpose in time.
Argentina previously staged 10 Grands Prix between 1961 and 1999 in Buenos Aires, while the most recent Brazilian race was staged in Rio de Janeiro in 2004.
