MotoGP Kazakhstan 2024: Postponed Until 22 September 2024

The eagerly anticipated MotoGP Kazakhstan 2024 race has been postponed to September 22, 2024, replacing the previously scheduled Grand Prix of India. The FIM, IRTA, and Dorna Sports made this announcement due to unprecedented weather conditions and severe flooding across Central Asia, which has led to a national emergency in Kazakhstan.

The decision to postpone the event was made to avoid placing additional burdens on local authorities and services that are currently focused on helping the tens of thousands of people displaced by the flooding. As such, the Sokol International Racetrack will not host the MotoGP™ on the initially planned dates.

Impact of the Flooding on MotoGP Kazakhstan 2024

The severe weather has caused widespread flooding, affecting large areas of Central Asia, including Kazakhstan. This natural disaster has resulted in significant displacement of the population, prompting the government to declare a national emergency. Given the extent of the crisis, MotoGP™ officials deemed it irresponsible to proceed with the event as scheduled, acknowledging the need for local resources and efforts to be directed towards recovery and assistance for those impacted by the floods.

New Date and Future Updates

The MotoGP Kazakhstan 2024 race is now rescheduled for September 22, 2024. This change in the calendar aims to provide ample time for the situation in Kazakhstan to stabilize and for the affected communities to begin recovering. Further updates regarding the race and any additional changes to the MotoGP™ calendar will be communicated once confirmed.

Support and Condolences

MotoGP™ extends its heartfelt condolences and support to the people of Kazakhstan and all those affected by the flooding in Central Asia. The organization hopes for a swift recovery for the nation, region, and all communities impacted by this natural disaster.
