MotoGP: First two races of 2020 season in Qatar & Thailand cancelled (Update)

Argentina is a go!

'Argentina currently has no restrictions on the outbreak of coronavirus and no problem is projected due to the security protocol of the Ministry of Health of the Nation and the Government of Santiago del Estero…

'The MotoGP date in Argentina will run normally and will continue to be part of the 2020 World Championship Calendar.'
