Finland dropped from 2021 MotoGP calendar, Austria double
Dorna has announced that MotoGP's planned 2021 debut at the KymiRing has been cancelled due to the 'ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, as well as resulting travel complications꧅ to Finland'.
However, there was some good news for the KymiRing in the form of an extended five-year agreement, assuring a place on t𒈔he calendar until at leasꦺt 2026.
Replacing the planned July 11 Finnish race will be a return o🥃f the Styria Grand Prix, introduced last season, on August 6-8, t🤡he weekend before the official Austrian Grand Prix.
The Red Bull Ring thus becomes the second circuit on the 2021 calendar to host t♓wo races this year, after Qatar, but other back-to-backs could follow should further cancellationꦍs occur.
Both the Styrꦕian and Austrian Grands Prix expect to welcome a limited number of spectat🦩ors this season...
