Japan, Australia, British
MotoGPs Canceled
I
n what is becoming a sadly
familiar sight in 2020, the Japa-
nese, Australian and British Mo-
toGP races have been called off
due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The British Grand Prix was set
to take place August 28-30 at
Silverstone, Japan's round was
due to take place at the Twin
Ring Motegi, October 16-18,
while the Australian Motorcycle
Grand Prix was set to take place
Phillip Island one week later,
October 23-25.
The cancelations cast fur-
ther doubt on the validity of the
already battered 2020 MotoGP
World Championship, with races
in Spain, France, Italy and Cata-
lunya postponed with no new
dates yet allocated. The MotoGP
rounds in Germany, Finland and
the Netherlands are already
canceled. At this stage, MotoGP
is hoping for a season-opening
race in Austria, August 16, at the
Red Bull Ring. CN

We won't be seeing another classic
race on the fast and flowing Phillip
Island circuit this year.
