Pictures of the MotoGP circuit were shared on social media earlier this week showing it had been ripped apart by the extreme weather, with the car park left underwater.

Now organisers have confirmed the race, which was set to be the season finale on November 17, has been cancelled.

The last race of 2024 will instead take place elsewhere at a location to be confirmed.

The official statement from MotoGP read: “We have been in constant contact with the local authorities and the circuit to best assess how we can help and how we should proceed.

“We have a responsibility to every region where we race that goes far beyond the sport and the events.

“After carefully weighing up the potential positive impact of MotoGP racing in Valencia on delayed dates versus ensuring no single resource is diverted from the recovery efforts by the presence of MotoGP, the championship and local authorities have been obliged to cancel the 2024 Valencia GP.”

It continued: “In lieu of racing in Valencia, MotoGP will instead race for Valencia.

“The championship will put our collective efforts behind backing the relief funds already in place to ensure our positive impact can connect with the area in the way it best serves the people and communities we have been part of for so long.

“Our efforts will begin during the Malaysian GP and continue at the final round of 2024, with a new venue and dates to be announced as soon as confirmed.

“Fans around the world, our athletes, and paddock deserve a sporting finale to the 2024 season, and one that can make a key contribution to supporting the communities we race in.

“Any further information regarding the season finale will be confirmed as soon as possible.”

Two races remain in the 2024 season – the Malaysian GP and the cancelled Valencia GP which will now be held in another location.

Spaniard Jorge Martin leads the championship by 17 points from Italian Francesco Bagnaia – who closed the gap to his title rival with victory in Thailand last weekend.
