The MXGP of Turkey will go ahead as originally planned on the fourth and fifth of September, while the second event, the MXGP of Afyon will take place mid-week on the following Tuesday and Wednesday, the seventh and eighth of September to replace the MXGP of Sweden that was postponed previously to 2022.
