All schools in the region of Madrid (where the next GP will be) are closed. Spain, France and Germany have the most infected people in Europe, after Italy ofcourse. A lot can happen in six weeks, but at the moment I wouldn't count on it that the GP of Spain takes place.

When do MXGP contracts end? Will running the race in November now screw up some guys deals? I know the AMA series contracts usually start 10-1-xxxx or 01-10-xxxx for non yanks.

Don’t understand why it was necessary to make the decision on Portugal at this point

Best case there could be 50% series left for this year if everything starting to turn better. Even northern eu countries are closing schools and events larger than 500 persons. Spread of virus is too fast. Lockdowns are buying time for hospitals to work with sick people.
I cant see Russian GP happening as they are not letting people in from corona areas.

This is only the beginning.
Merkel said 40 to 60 miljoen germans will get infected.
A Dutch expert said within 12 days the situation in the Netherlands will be the same as in Italy.
I think the hole motor racing will get a restart end May or early June.

Isn't the postponed GP of Portugal a hoax? It seems I can't find anything about it anywhere.

Strange, they have deleted that post again... Don't know what to expect now. But I wouldn't be surprised if the first GP from now will be Russia, everything gets cancelled here in Europe.

Shows nothing about it on my feed. Last post of them was on March 10th, about their personal sponsors. Nothing about it on their website or on their Instagram.

They definitely had it on their FB page last night. Maybe someone in the press dept was a bit too quick off the mark.

Merkel says a lot of things. Most of it nonsense

Now it's official: both Spain and Portugal get pushed back:

MONACO (Principality of Monaco) 12 March 2020 – Infront Moto Racing regrets to inform about a further update on the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship calendar as the MXGP of Spain and the MXGP of Portugal have been postponed.

Originally scheduled on April 18/19, the MXGP of Spain will now be postponed to October 10/11. Meanwhile the MXGP of Portugal foreseen on April 25/26 will now be taking place on the October 17/18.

The decision to postpone both events to a later date in the year was made in agreement with the FIM, FIM Europe, the local authorities and both organizers, Last Lap as local organizer of the MXGP of Spain and Águeda Action Club – ACTIB as organizer of the MXGP of Portugal.

Due to the international situation because of the Coronavirus outbreak, Infront Moto Racing would like to focus on the health of all the people involved and to keep the risk of impact low for the 2020 MXGP schedule.

We kindly ask you all for a great sense of responsibility and understanding during this difficult time, as we continue to monitor the situation and take each day step-by-step.

Change motor racing to world. Everything is shutting down.
