Stoner won this year's inaugural Aragon MotoGP

Spain will host four rounds of the 2011 MotoGP championship after the International Motorcycling Federation published the provisional calendar.

Aragon was used this year with the Hungarian MotoGP venue not ready, and the circuit has now been given a race in its own right.

The other venues in Spain are Jerez, Catalunya and the traditional season finale in Valencia.

The season starts in Qatar on 20 March with the British GP on 12 June.

Casey Stoner won this year's inaugural race at the Motorland Aragon circuit.
