MotoGP set to replace Kazakhstan GP with second Qatar round

Third race of 2024 to be cancelled outright

The MotoGP Kazakhstan Grand Prix will not take place and a second round will be held in Qatar instead, Motorsport.com understands. The race at the Sokol circuit has been in doubt from the moment it entered the calendar. Initially, the event was due to debut last year, but its cancellation was announced not long into the season as work on the facility, just outside the town of Almati, was not on schedule.

In this respect, the fact that the circuit is located in a very remote area without much infrastructure has not helped.

Dorna, together with the other players who manage the event, have opted for a second visit to Qatar, an event which opened this year's calendar.
