That of a Catalan Grand Prix on which Jorge Lorenzo was counting on to make a return, even very temporary, to competition with a Yamaha…
After JerezIncluding Le Mans was echoed, the route of Montmeló is the next in a sad list written by a coronavirus which crosses out the MotoGP Grands Prix one after the other. As the event was to take place from 5 at 7 June, it goes without saying that we fear the worst for the meeting of Mugello having to honor the Italian deadline… Expected for the last weekend of May!
The Secretary General of Sports of the Catalan government, Gerard Figueras, was clear when asked in L'Esportiu about the celebration of the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix and the MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix: “ neither the Spanish F1 GP nor the Catalan GP MotoGP will take place on the scheduled dates. To date, the decision to cancel the two meetings has not yet been taken, but we are awaiting a new place on the calendar ", he said.
In this scenario, the next scheduled date on the current MotoGP calendar would be German Grand Prixe, which is currently listed for June 19-21. Dorna has already indicated that, for the moment, she will postpone each appointment one by one depending on the circumstances.
