As is normal in such situations, sport remains in the background and we have to think about human life. Because that’s right there Valencia GPwhich will close the year and surely decide the world champion title, will not be the venue for the last MotoGP race of the year after a plague of horrific injuries that have already claimed around 200 lives.
DORNA initially assured that unless there was contrary news from the Generalitat Valenciana, the dates would be kept, but the pilots, almost simultaneously, refused to fly to Cheste, the epicenter of the disaster, for ethical and purely logical reasons those reasons. The most combative at that time Pecco Bagnaia, who this Friday said he would not ride in Valencia if he continued the GP even if it meant losing the title.
The pilots met with DORNA to present their point of view and find a solution. According to AS newspaper, the alternative with the most votes is to hold the race in Ángel Nieto de Jerez circuit. Other alternatives on the table are Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Alcañiz or going to Qatar run to Losail. According to Motorsport.com, the option of Portimao.
What also seems to change is the date. Initially the Valencia GP will be held on the weekend of November 15 to 17. Well, some sources indicate that the GP, wherever it is, will happen the following weekend, from November 22 to 24.
Ezpeleta, speaking to the microphones of DAZN, said that the final decision will be known before the Malaysian GP Sprint race. That means, this Saturday before 8:00 am Spanish time, the newly established plan has been communicated to everyone.
