As rumoured, Sachsenring will not be able to keep its place as the belated 2020 MotoGP season-opener on June 21 and is to request a new date.An announcement was issued in response to a German government decision to extended the ban on large public gatherings until August 31.’We are in talks with the MotoGP rights holder Dorna and with the responsible authorities to find a new date for the motorcycle Grand Prix at the Sachsenring,’ said a statement from event organiser ADAC.’The health of fans and everyone involved is always the top priority. The purchased tickets remain valid for the new date. We ask our loyal fans for some patience.’A weekend audience of 201,000 fans attended last year’s German Grand Prix, putting it behind only Thailand (226,000) and France (206,000).Sachsenring thus joins Losail, Buriram, COTA, Termas, Jerez, Le Mans, Mugello and Catalunya on the cancelled/postponed list, while putting Assen on June 28 as the new provisional start to the season.But that is also thought unlikely to materialise unless there is a dramatic breakthrough in countering the coronavirus.Instead an August or September start, probably behind closed doors, and total of around 10 rounds before a mid-December cut-off is currently seen as the best-case scenario for 2020.The rounds facing cancellation are not yet clear, but some are likely to be ruled out simply due to ongoing travel/entry restrictions… Official 2020 MotoGP Calendar (including free weekends)RoundDateRaceCircuit18 MarchQatar (MotoGP cancelled)Losail?3 MaySpain (postponed)Jerez?17 MayFrance (postponed)Le Mans?31 MayItaly (postponed)Mugello?7 JuneCatalunya (postponed)Barcelona221 JuneGermanySachsenring328 JuneNetherlandsAssen 5 July  412 JulyFinlandKymiRing (Subject to homologation) 19 July Summer break 26 July Summer break 2 August Summer break59 AugustCzech RepublicBrno616 AugustAustriaRed Bull Ring 23 August  730 AugustGreat BritainSilverstone 6 September  813 SeptemberSan MarinoMisano 20 September  927 SeptemberAragonAragon (rescheduled)104 OctoberThailand Buriram (rescheduled) 11 October  1118 OctoberJapanMotegi1225 OctoberAustraliaPhillip Island131 NovemberMalaysiaSepang 8 November  1415 NovemberAmericasCOTA (rescheduled)1522 NovemberArgentinaTermas de Rio Hondo (rescheduled)1629 NovemberValenciaRicardo Tormo (rescheduled)”4
