The MotoGP race organizers faced one of the most difficult, potentially championship-deciding decisions since the inception of the premier class. Due to the floods that have devastated the Valencia reagin, killing more than 200 people, the MotoGP organizers have decided not to burden the area with hosting the championship finale this year.
Instead of racing in Valencia, MotoGP will be racing for Valencia. According to its latest press release, proceeds from the final race will go toward aid for Valencia.
Of course, there's a glaring problem for the FIM. Just 17 points separated the Championship leader, Jorge Martin, and Francesco Bagnaia going into the penultimate round when the decision not to race in Valencia was made. There were 74 points up for grabs during the last two rounds, meaning it's about as close a championship as you could ever hope for.
