IN THE WIND P24 MotoGP Finally Back In Business D orna has announced 13 races to comprise the 2020 MotoGP World Championship calendar after the Covid-19 pan- demic threatened the existence of this year's series. With two races held per venue aside from Catalunya, France, Czech Republic and Qatar (which already held its Moto2 and Moto3 round back in March), the abbreviated calen- dar will be one of the shortest in decades, with seven races being held in Spain/Catalunya. The possibility of holding events outside Europe will be assessed and confirmed before July 31. However, the 2020 sea- son will not finish later than the December 13 and will comprise a maximum of 17 events (including the Grand Prix of Qatar). All dates and events, as well as the eventual attendance of spectators, are subject to the evolution of the pandemic and the approval of corresponding governments and authorities. But at least there's now some confirmation—we're going rac- ing!
