The Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix will maintain its current 17-19 October date in 2014, according to the FIM’s updated MotoGP World Championship calendar.

Phillip Island was initially penciled in to be held a week later next year as the third of the traditional fly-away races, however it’s now become the second.

The Japanese GP will replace the previously-announced Malaysian round on 10-12 October, before the series heads across to Phillip Island.

Meanwhile, the Sepang event will conclude the trio of events on 24-26 October, which was the date originally scheduled for Australia.

They are the lone updates on the calendar as of today’s update.

The 2014 MotoGP World Championship will commence at the Losail Circuit in Qatar on 21-23 March.
