MotoGP will turn to one of several fallback options to host its 2024 season finale, having accepted that it cannot race in flood-hit Valencia.
According to sources in the paddock, the final round of the 2024 MotoGP world championship will not be held at Valencia’s Circuit Ricardo Tormo due to the recent devastating flooding in the area. MotoGP organiser Dorna has yet to announce a new venue for the 20th round of the campaign, despite the event being just 10 days away. CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta previously confirmed plans to finish the season at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, but growing pressure from within the paddock led to a change of direction. The final round has now been postponed to 22-24 November and will be moved to a new venue, with Jerez, Barcelona, Portimao, and Lusail International Circuit in Qatar being considered. A decision on the location must be made soon as Michelin requires time to prepare new race rubber for the rescheduled event.
