Kazakhstan drops off the 2024 MotoGP calendar and is replaced by a second event in Misano.
Sokol thus becomes the third event to drop off the planned 2024 MotoGP calendar after Argentina and India. India was the event Kazakhstan had been pencilled in to replace, on September 20-22.
'Operational and logistical issues arising from the earlier flooding across the region have rendered the event impossible to hold in 2024,' read a statement from the FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports. But the world championship will still have 20 rounds with Misano getting a second MotoGP event on the planned Kazakhstan date.
The additional Misano round will be known as the Emilia Romagna MotoGP, reviving a title used for repeat events at the circuit during Covid. The calendar change means Misano will host the San Marino MotoGP as planned on September 6-8, followed by an official post-race test on September 9th and a weekend off. The new Emilia Romagna event will then take place on September 20-22.Hungary's Balaton Park Circuit was listed as a surprise 'Reserve Event' for the 2024 MotoGP season but appears not to have been an option to replace any cancelled rounds.
