MotoGP | Qatar GP: No Top Class, here's the new programme. Dates, times and info

MotoGP GP Qatar – The past was a very long winter without engines, but among various twists and turns, especially at market level, the curtain never really came down completely on the MotoGP.

From this weekend, however, it will be the track that will start talking again, let's start again, the 2020 MotoGP will begin, even if due to the restrictions on flights from various countries, including Italy, only the Moto3 classes will be held in Qatar and Moto2, already present on site given the tests completed yesterday.

A real "low" blow for enthusiasts and professionals, who will also have to give up the Thai Grand Prix, postponed in this case for all classes to a date to be defined.

As mentioned, the riders of the Moto3 and Moto2 classes will battle it out on the track; given the recent test results, a great show is expected, MotoGP will be missing, but the "smaller" ones are ready to put on a show.
