With only two weeks to go until the Qatar Grand Prix, MotoGP riders are expressing their concern over the championship’s intention to compete in a region marked by armed conflict. Alex Marquez, Gresini rider, believes it is not appropriate to make hasty decisions in such a volatile situation.
Many riders, including Marc Marquez, have kept silent on this issue, while most agree that if MotoGP decides to move forward, it will be because the safety of the participants has been guaranteed. This week, championship officials have organized a meeting with the riders ahead of the Australian Grand Prix, where they will confirm the safety measures for the GP of Qatar.
Marquez considers it premature to make a definitive call at this stage. “Every day there are changes and the situation worsens,” he commented. “The championship tells us that everything is under control, but I don’t believe anyone can have such a complicated situation under control. Many things can change quickly, and it is not the time for hasty decisions. They need to be realistic and wait a few more days.”
The championship, led by Jorge Martin, adopts a more diplomatic approach. He expressed his desire to go to Qatar, highlighting the quality of the circuit and his confidence in the organizers’ decisions. “If we go, it will be because our safety is guaranteed,” he added, making it clear that he is open to the decisions that are taken into account.
