MotoGP set to cancel 2026 Qatar Grand Prix

MotoGP is poised to cancel the rescheduled 2026 Qatar Grand Prix, with sources indicating the decision could be announced within days. The race, originally set for April, was moved to November 8 due to the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, but persistent security concerns around the Losail International Circuit have now led to plans for its removal from the calendar without a replacement. The circuit is located approximately 40 kilometers from the Al Udeid U.S. Air Base, which was targeted by Iranian rocket attacks during the early stages of the hostilities.
