It seems that in everything, misfortune is good. However, we must hope that the coronavirus case does not last too long. For the moment, he has removed Qatar from the calendar and pushed back the Thailand deadline. For MotoGP, it's a heartbreaker, while Moto3 and Moto2 will alone put on the show at Losail. But the premier category can console itself with the end of a bad series which lasted since 2015…

Due to entry restrictions currently affecting Italian passengers who are particularly monitored for anything related to the spread of the coronavirus, the Qatar Grand Prix 2020 MotoGP has been cancelled. It will therefore not open the Grand Prix campaign in the category. A disappointment, but also like an exorcism!

Ainsi, le MotoGP escapes a curse that has affected him since 2015. She thus hit the driver who achieved the best time at teast of Sepang and who won the victory Qatar Grand Prix. In 2014, Marc Márquez achieved the best time in the tests in Malaysia, then made it happen in Qatar at the opening of the hostilities which he finished with the title of World Champion. But since then, woe betide the one who appears in one of the first two paintings...

Therefore, Márquez et Red in 2015, Lorenzo in 2016, Maverick Vinales in 2017, Lorenzo et Andrea Dovizioso then in 2018 Danilo Petrucci et Dovizioso in 2019 were affected by this fatality. Since the Qatar will not take place, we will remember for 2020 that Fabio Quartararo dominated at Sepang this off-season. Where will he be on the evening of the Valencia Grand Prix on November 15?
