The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), which is the international sanctioning body that oversees many Europe-based racing series involving motorbikes, announced some event cancellations due to Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, which began in February, 2022. So far, upcoming rounds in the 2022 MXGP, Speedway Grand Prix, and SidecarCross World Championship have officially been canceled for the season.
According to the original 2022 FIM MXGP calendar, the EMX250 and EMX Open European Championships had been scheduled for a race weekend in Orlyonok, Russia from April 30 through May 1, 2022. On February 26, 2022, the FIM officially announced that they would be canceled, and said a replacement GP would be announced soon.
