2021 Algarve motorcycle Grand Prix

The 2021 Algarve motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the Grande Prémio Brembo do Algarve) was the seventeenth round of the 2021 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It was introduced as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic[1] and was held at the Algarve International Circuit in Portimão on 7 November 2021.

In the MotoGP class, Ducati secured its second consecutive Constructors' Championship.[2]

In the Moto3 class, Pedro Acosta won the Riders' Championship after main title rival Dennis Foggia crashed on the last lap after being hit by Darryn Binder.[3] Acosta became the first rookie rider to win a World Championship since Loris Capirossi who won the 125cc championship in 1990. Acosta is also the second youngest rider ever to win a world championship, just one day older than Capirossi.[4]
