Infront Moto Racing must adjust MXGP calendar
We announced on Friday already announced that the MXGP of France would move to a later date. Today there is official confirmation from Infront Moto Racing, the promoter of the Motocross World Championship.
Not only the French Grand Prix will have a new date due to the global outbreak of the Coronavirus. Both Indonesian GPs are also postponed. The popular GP of France organized by Moto Club Angerien will now take place on June 27 and 28 in Saint-Jean d'Angely.
The Indonesian GP, which was planned for the end of June, has been moved to the weekend of October 31 and November 1. The second part of the Indonesian diptych follows one week later. For the time being, the circuit, which was Palembang, is still marked 'as to be confirmed'. These changes should see the championship resume on May 16 and 17 in Maggiora, Italy. The fourth World Cup round should then be that of Teutschenthal in Germany. Naturally, these second matches are linked to a favorable evolution of the Coronavirus in these two countries. After all, both Italy and Germany have been hit hard. Hopefully better news soon!
