Barcelona will host the final race of the MotoGP season next week in place of flood-hit Valencia, organisers Dorna announced on Tuesday.

He's the series' boss, who failed to see that holding a race in what's essentially a disaster zone, where more weather was already pushing in, the same weather that has decimated Valencia, would then affect Barcelona,

After initially wanting to run the 2024 MotoGP finale at Valencia as planned on November 15-17, MotoGP made the right decision to cancel the event at the Ricardo Tormo circuit. However a replacement is scheduled for the same weekend and it looks like Barcelona will be the destination of choice.

The recent flooding in Valencia has forced MotoGP to move its 2024 season finale to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a track which suits both contenders.

If MotoGP do end the season in Barcelona it would be their second visit to the circuit in 2024. Circuit de Catalunya held the seventh round of the 2024 MotoGP season. In this round, Aleix Espargaro won the Sprint Race before Francesco Bagnaia won the Grand Prix on Sunday.

The 2024 Valencia GP is canceled due the the devastating floods in the region. Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona will host the final MotoGP, November 15-17.

Marc Marquez has said he would prefer a different circuit to host the final round of the 2024 MotoGP World Championship than the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Marquez finished third at Barcelona earlier this year when it hosted the Catalan Grand Prix, having started from 14th on the grid.
