MotoGP Riders Prepare for Qatar GP Amid Safety Concerns

MotoGP is moving forward with plans for the Qatar Grand Prix scheduled for November, despite the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Carlos Ezpeleta, the deputy CEO of MotoGP, confirmed that the organization is closely monitoring the situation.

The race, originally set for April 12, was postponed to November 8, which has resulted in adjustments to the schedule for the Portuguese and Valencia Grands Prix. Preparations for the event are ongoing as the championship aims to travel to Doha soon.

Recent missile attacks in the region have raised safety concerns, but Ezpeleta emphasized that the well-being of staff and fans is the top priority. Riders expressed mixed feelings about the race, with some indicating that the decision may depend on the actions of Formula 1 regarding its events in the area.
