Italian Grand Prix canceled amid pandemic

The MotoGP Italian Grand Prix, originally scheduled for May 31 at Mugello and then postponed, has been canceled, Report says the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) announced on Wednesday.

"Despite the communal effort made to find a practical solution, the impossibility of staging an event that is open to spectators, as well as the difficulties that have arisen from this exceptional situation, have not allowed us to find a new date for the Italian Grand Prix."

The FIM said this would be the first time in nearly 30 years that the Tuscan circuit will not host the Italian motorcycling Grand Prix.

The FIM and the promoter of the MotoGP championship, the Spanish group Dorna, have yet to present a revised calendar for the World Championship, which has been put on hold by the coronavirus pandemic.
