The Hungarian round of the MotoGP championship scheduled for September has been cancelled and replaced by a fourth race in Spain, organisers said on Friday.

A statement from the governing FIM said the Sept 19 race at the Balatonring had been axed because construction work could not be finished on time. It will be replaced by the Grand Prix of Aragon at Spain's Motorland Aragon circuit on the same date.

Spain already has races scheduled for Jerez, Barcelona and Valencia in May, July and November.
