Valencia out, Barcelona in as Spain remains preferred choice for the final round
MotoGP is poised to replace the cancelled Valencia GP with a new race in Barcelona, Motorsport.com understands. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is now set to stage the season finale on 17 November, having already hosted the sixth round of the championship back in May. The development follows the decision to scrap the Valencia race on Friday due to devastating flooding in the region in recent days, with over 200 people having lost their lives according to the official figures.

Going back to Doha, where the season started eight months ago in March, would have been a considerable expense for a number of teams.
