MADRID: The FIM, IRTA and MotoGP commercial rights holder Dorna Sports Thursday announced that the Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix, which was set to take place at Sepang International Circuit from the 22nd to the 24th of October, stands cancelled.
Reason: the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting entry restrictions for Malaysia.
