Print Edition
The Italian MotoGP, a permanent fixture on the calendar since 1991, has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sport’s governing body and promoter announced yesterday. The race becomes the eighth casualty of this year’s scheduled ravaged by the novel coronavirus, following the Qatar, Dutch, German, Finnish, British, Australian and Japanese rounds of the world championship. Located in a Tuscany valley, the Mugello Circuit is renowned for attracting some of the most passionate crowds of the season, and holds extra significance for home favorite Ducati and seven-time world champion Valentino Rossi. “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of Mugello,” the CEO of promoter Dorna Sports Carmelo Ezpeleta said in a statement. The organizers are hoping to start the season with a race at the Jerez circuit in southern Spain on July 19.
