Valencia MotoGP Canceled Due to Floods

The final MotoGP race of the 2024 season, originally scheduled for November 17 in Valencia, has been canceled due to devastating floods in the region, which have resulted in over 200 fatalities. The decision was made to prevent diverting resources from recovery efforts and to support relief initiatives instead. Organizers are considering alternative venues, with Jerez, Barcelona, and Qatar among the options, and a new date likely to be set for November 22-24. Both top riders, Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia, support the move away from Valencia, emphasizing the need for sensitivity towards the affected communities. The MotoGP community plans to contribute to relief efforts, reflecting a commitment to the welfare of the Valencia region.
