The Qatar Grand Prix will not take place. The International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) announced this Sunday that the event, scheduled for March 8, could not take place because of the coronavirus epidemic, and is therefore canceled. "From today, the Qatari authorities have indeed decided to place in quarantine for at least 14 days, any person arriving in Doha by means of a direct flight Italy - Qatar, or having stayed in this country these last two weeks. With Italy playing a vital role in our Championship, both on and off the track, it was therefore decided to cancel the weekend in this category, ”explained the FIM. Moto2 and Moto3 races, on the other hand, will take place well, with the riders already on site.
