The terrible DANA that hit the Community of Valencia had tragic consequences both on a material level and above all on a human level in the territory of Valencia. At the infrastructure level, the Cheste circuit was also affected but, for purely ethical and moral reasons, Nor does it make sense to compete in a motorcycle Grand Prix that has to be a party. That is why MotoGP needs to find an alternative to handle the last race of the year.
Well, after exploring other options such as Jerez or Qatar, DORNA decided that the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will host the last race of the MotoGP season and requested it. The only thing missing is the ok from the Generalitat of Catalonia, which is reviewing the request, so that it can be officially announced. This was explained in a statement by the organization of the World Cup in the voice of Carlos Ezpeleta, sports director of the championship.
“We thought it was important to inform the drivers before they went out on the track yesterday, especially those fighting for positions, to confirm that there is another test on the calendar”
“They have been a very complicated few days, more for the Valencian Community, of course, but we think – given the situation in which the Championship finds itself, sportingly speaking, but also for the fans around the world – we believe that “It is important to celebrate the one last event of the season. We owe it to the paddock and our fans.”
“We have studied all the possibilities we have, it is a challenge to organize an event in two weeks, but in the last 48 hours we have studied all the possible alternatives and we believe that Barcelona is the best possible place because of the proximity to Valencia, because “Many people are already traveling to get to the final, and especially for the fans – we believe this is the best place for them. We also know that we can help the Valencian Community from that location.”
“That is why we asked the Government of Catalonia to hold the event there. They want to talk and align with both the Government of Spain and the Government of Valencia before confirming the event, and we hope that this confirmation will come in next 48 hours But the The need for now is Valencia, not the confirmation of our GP This is something we can wait for and as soon as it is confirmed we will start working as hard as possible, because it is without a doubt which is a challenge. but we believe we can do more and we feel that we owe it to our fans.”
“We would like to thank the entire MotoGP community, the riders and the teams, for their activism, help and support.”
Same dates
Initially there was speculation that the final GP of the season would be held at the weekend rather than expected. The Valencia race was scheduled for the weekend of November 15-17 and there was talk of the possibility of moving it to the weekend of the 22-24th.
Finally, in principle The dates will remain unchanged and will be held on the same weekend as the races in Valencia.
