[kropotkin thinks...] - Officially Confirmed: Argentina MotoGP Round Postponed Until
If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.
----------------- The 2013 Argentinian round of MotoGP has been canceled, as we forecast it would be yesterday. Today, Dorna issued a statement on the cancellation, and the FIM issued a new 18-race calendar without Argentina on it. As explained yesterday, the decision to cancel the round has been forced upon Dorna by the Spanish government, which is recommending that Repsol staff should not travel to Argentina, after the Argentinian government nationalized Repsol YPF, the Argentine subsidiary of the Spanish oil giant. With Repsol behind several different riders and teams in the championship, going without Repsol-backed riders would have left the starting grid decimated. Though Argentina is off the calendar for 2013, Dorna have expressed the intention to go to South America as soon as possible. The Termas de Rio Hondo circuit has a three-year deal to host the Argentinian Grand Prix, and if the political dispute between Argentina and Repsol has been settled, then the race will be back on the calendar in 2014. The 2014 MotoGP calendar should be a more international affair, with a race in Southeast Asia also likely to feature on the schedule. read more
