Coronavius also becomes a determining factor in the Grand Prix Moto. The start of the royal race class season has been postponed after the postponement of Forum.

The new season will not begin on March 8th as it was on the Qatar Grand Prix programme. The recently created situation and measures the state of Qatar has taken by blocking flights from many countries, including Italy, from which much of the teams come, has brought about this decision by the World Automobile Organisation.

The only races to be held are those of Moto2 and Moto3, as the teams have been in Qatar for several days because of their participation in winter tests on this track.

The journey of many Italians towards Qatar had pushed the government to this country to demand aborting the race at a moment when Italy is one of the hot spots of this infection.

She has not even agreed when she was proposed that trips be organized on charter trips, bringing full cancellation of the race. In a similar situation, there is the development of a second race, Thailand's Grand Prize, scheduled on March 22nd, as the state there has imposed many strict measures for travel from the countries affected by the Coronavirus, so the new GP motto season is expected to start with a few weeks late, possibly even in April.
