Japanese GP cancelled - new dates for USA and Thailand
The FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports have confirmed the cancellation of the Motul Grand Prix of Japan.
There is a new date for the Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas at Austin, Texas - the event was previously postponed and will now take place from 1-3 October 2021.
The OR Grand Prix of Thailand will therefore take place a week later than previously scheduled, from 15-17 October.
With regard to the cancellation of the Japanese GP for 2021, Dorna Sports stated that "the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and resulting travel complications and logistical restrictions mean that it has not been possible to go ahead with the event at this time meaning that it will therefore not feature on the 2021 calendar. The FIM MotoGP World Championship looks forward to returning to race in front of the Japanese fans at their home Grand Prix in 2022."
