2020 Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix

The 2020 Qatar motorcycle Grand Prix was the first round of the 2020 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It was held at the Losail International Circuit in Doha on 8 March 2020. The MotoGP race was cancelled after Qatari quarantine measures were put in place as a response to the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Because Moto2 and Moto3 teams were testing at Losail the previous week, teams were staying over in Qatar for that race and officials allowed them to participate in all scheduled events.[1]
