==Background==
Since the previous Grand Prix, the motorcycle body FIM had made some minor revisions to their description of the track, and the FIA adopted those changes as official. The kink in the straight after Turn 1 was labeled as Turn 2, with the total amount of corners increased by one. And the track had been remeasured as 4.318km, down from the old 4.326km figure used.
