Kazakhstan MotoGP Round Postponed - New Date Uncertain MotoGP's first ever visit to Kazakhstan has been delayed. Today, Dorna and the FIM announced that the race will not happen on the weekend of June 14th to 16th. Instead, the date is now to be confirmed.

The official reason for the cancellation is flooding which has hit several parts of Kazakhstan and neighboring Russia. But that has mostly impacted the northern part of the country, a long way from Almaty and the Sokol International Racetrack. It is possible that the Kazakh government want to deflect criticism of staging an event in the middle of a national emergency. It has faced protest over its handling of the floods, which have been disastrous in some areas of the country.
