After four races overseas since the start of March in Qatar, MotoGP returns to its spiritual homeland of Europe for the first of 12 straight races on the continent and 13 in total.
The Algarve International Circuit near Portimao was brought onto the calendar in 2020 to help make up for the lack of travelling allowed due to the COVID pandemic, with home hero Miguel Oliveira storming to a dominant victory aboard his Tech3-run KTM. It marked the first race in the country since 2012, when the Portuguese GP was held at Estoril.
