Final MXGP rounds in Italy run behind closed doors as new Italian decree hits tripleheader
By Team TMX on 28th Oct 20
While teams and riders are set for the final legs of the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship, fans trackside are set to miss out.
Ticket-wielding fans that were all set to enjoy the climax of the MXGP and world MX2 championships in Pietramurata will not be allowed access to the circuit, Infront Moto Racing revealed today.
MXGP is set to begin the tripleheader in Italy this weekend as we head into the final three rounds of the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship. The MXGP of Trentino was originally scheduled to take place on April 4-5, though due to the coronavirus pandemic the event was postponed to a later stage, and then became one of the special Italian triple-headers for this season.
Infront has been in close cooperation with the local authorities and the event organiser MOTOCLUBARCO ALTOGARDA OFFROAD, and despite all efforts from both parties the possibility of welcoming fans to the circuit will not be possible during the three GPs in Pietramurata and the event will run behind closed doors.
With all the latest regulations on the Italian decree, as cases start to rise more rapidly in the country, which will see many restrictions in Italy, the plan of welcoming fans to the circuit will not be possible.
Although not the same for the fans who had plans to travel for the events, they (and others around the world) will still be able to watch all the action unfold during the last Italian tripleheader from the comfort of their homes with MXGP-TV.com, which will air all the races LIVE, including the EMX, WMX, MX2 and MXGP races as we gear up to find out who will it be that becomes the 2020 European and world champions!
The MXGP of Trentino has been part of the MXGP Calendar for many years and every season produces some of the best race action. In 2019, we were all treated to one of the most intense and most talked about races of the year as Antonio Cairoli and Tim Gajser went head-to-head in the races for the overall victory. And this season will be no different as the pair will battle it out once again, but this time with much higher stakes, the MXGP title, as 74 points separate the two championship rivals as we reach the grand finale of the 2020 Motocross World Championship season.
Anyone who purchased tickets for the upcoming Grand Prix races in Pietramurata will receive more information about the reimbursement of their tickets soon, Infront said in a press release.
