The MotoGP World Cup will not go to Asia in 2021: canceled the Malaysian Grand Prix and there will be two rounds in Misano
It was an open secret and is now official.The Malaysian Grand Prix will not be on the MotoGP calendar for the 2021 season. This is confirmed by Dorna, explaining that there will be a double appointment in the Misano circuit, although it will not be consecutively.
The restrictions derived from the Covid-19 pandemic, the complications for traveling and the logistics problems have been carried out in front of the last Asian race that was still in the calendar.We can be before another MotoGP World Cup that is exclusively European, with the only saviness of Qatar.
Austin could be the next race canceled, and Jerez would enter
The Malaysian Grand Prix remained alone in the calendar after the cancellations of Japan, Australia and Thailand.One trip to the other end of the world for a single race no longer made sense to the MotoGP World Cup, especially because of the added difficulties that the matter involves.
Instead, there will be a second career in Misano, whose official name has not yet been announced but that aims to be called the Grand Prix of Emilia Romagna, since the one in the calendar is that of San Marino.It would occupy the same date on which the Malaysian race was scheduled, that is, on October 24.
The most curious thing is that Emilia Romagna's Grand Prix would not be consecutive with that of San Marino.In between, on October 3, the Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin is placed, the only appointment outside Europe that still resists on the calendar.And it is not clear to be played.
Dorna's initial plan is that all team trucks remain in Misano, travel to the United States with the indispensable and return to Emilia Romagna, where everything is already mounted.But Austin could also fall through the pandemic, and in that case another career in Jerez would be added.
Although officially Argentina's Grand Prix only appears as an postponed, neither the pandemic nor the fire suffered by the Rio Hondo Termas circuit seem to predict that it will return to the calendar.On the contrary, most likely, Austin will also fall and have a practically European World Cup, with the initial saviness of Qatar.
Misano's will be the fourth double appointment of the season, after Losail and Red Bull Ring, which have already been played, and that of Portimao, whose Grand Prix of Portugal was already celebrated but still pending theAlgarve.As we say, it might not be the last one, because Jerez is already in reserve for another MotoGP race.
