It seems a bit odd to me that only the MotoGP race has been cancelled for Qatar, not the Moto2 and Moto3. I understand that Moto2/3 are already in Qatar and testing, but if they're racing then people will still attend to spectate? Isn't that the health risk, the gathering of thousands of people, rather than a dozen riders and the (albeit numerous) paddock staff? That doesn't seem right.

Also, what other affects will it have? More MotoGP rounds? What about WSBK?

With a lot of the Chinese factories being shut, or their supply chains being affected, what knock-on effects will this also have for the motorcycle industry and Ducati in particular?

Rough times ahead...

And Qatar WSBK now....

We already have people self-isolating after business trips to Italy and Malaysia - can't see it improving any time soon
