Several hypotheses are currently being considered to define the framework for recovery, when the situation is more favorable. One of the problems is that no one really knows when it will be possible to leave home first, then travel within countries, then abroad.
The position of the International Motorcycling Federation is therefore quite open for the moment, as it is likely to adapt in the future to the different scenarios that arise.
The currently dominant idea seems to be to reduce as much as possible the number of people present on a circuit where a Grand Prix would be organized, in terms of spectators, competitors, organizers, journalists and others.
Another theoretical idea would be to organize the first races with only the MotoGP category, without Moto2, Moto3 and MotoE.
Jorge Viegas, the president of the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM), is against this idea. “I don’t see the need for it. We work with people from around fifteen different countries, whether in MotoGP, Moto2 or Moto3,” Viegas told Niki Kovacs of GPspirit.
In this sense, the FIM is perfectly in its role, which is to defend the interests of all motorcycle enthusiasts, and not just an elite category.
“It would at most be conceivable if there was a limit of say 100 people. But I don’t suppose so,” remarks the FIM manager.
Viegas isn't entirely negative about MotoE yet either: “My intuition tells me that all categories will race in Grand Prix, and not just MotoGP. I don't see anything wrong with that. »
“The biggest risk comes from the spectators”, regrets Viegas. “Here I'm talking about thousands of people coming together. With people in the paddock we can keep a safe distance and be more careful. »
The FIM president assumes that there would be extreme safety rules in the paddock if the Grands Prix could take place again: “Everyone would wear a mask and gloves and be careful “, he prophesies, emphasizing: “I never thought about letting only the MotoGP category race. I don't think this is the solution. »
