The MotoGP has confirmed that the Qatar Grand Prix will take place next month, despite the ongoing conflict in the region. The competition, which had been rescheduled for November 6 to 8, aims to maintain its calendar after a previous decision to postpone it due to the war in Iran.
According to the MotoGP Technical Association, the organizers are confident in the guarantees provided by local authorities. Although several European countries are informing their citizens about the need to reschedule travel to Qatar, the situation has stabilized. The MotoGP promotion considers the security advisories received so far to be sufficient.
Furthermore, there are just over two weeks until the MotoGP paddock arrives at the Lusail circuit, located on the outskirts of Doha. The International Road Racing Association has communicated to all teams its intention to carry out the race, emphasizing a contingency plan designed by the local organizers, which adds to the advisories they are receiving.
Unfortunately, teams are divided in their stance. While some riders express concern about the trip, others do not want to miss the opportunity to race. It is known that about 75% of riders prefer to avoid participating in the event, while 25% are willing to compete.
It will be necessary to closely follow the evolution of the situation, as next Thursday the riders are expected to express their views on this issue at Phillip Island. Meanwhile, the organizers continue their security monitoring, prioritizing the well-being of all involved.
