MotoGP chief to travel to Qatar this week as crunch decision on race looms

MotoGP deputy CEO Carlos Ezpeleta is heading to Doha this week to evaluate safety conditions for the upcoming Qatar Grand Prix. The event remains in doubt due to regional conflict and updated government travel warnings, leading riders to express significant concerns during a private meeting at the Australian Grand Prix.

While organizers emphasize the financial importance of the race, Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivola noted that teams are currently prepared to compete unless safety assessments change. A potential rider boycott remains a possibility if the requested security guarantees are not met.
