The Red Bull Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix has been
cancelled.
The FIM, IRTA and Dorna Sports issued a statement
on Tuesday explaining that the "ongoing COVID19
pandemic and resulting travel complications and logistical
restrictions mean it has not been possible to confirm the
viability of the event at this time, and it will therefore not
feature on the 2021 calendar".
The FIM MotoGP World Championship, which had been
scheduled to take place at the
spectacular Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit in October, will
most likely next happen in 2022.
As a result of the change, the 2021 Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix has
been brought forward and will take place a week earlier
than previously scheduled, from 22 to 24 October -
the weekend immediately following the rescheduled OR Grand Prix of
Thailand.
In addition, the Grande Premio do Algarve
has been added to the 2021 FIM MotoGP World Championship calendar.
MotoGP will
return to Portimão from 5 to 7 November, the week
preceding the Gran Premio Motul de la Comunitat Valenciana, as the
iconic Autodromo do Algarve welcomes MotoGP back for a second
Grand Prix this season.
