Following the severe weather that hit the Valencia region, Spain, and had a strong impact on the inhabitants and infrastructure, many doubts now arise about the future of the final round of the MotoGP year, and this may very well not take place in Spain, with Portugal and the Algarve International Circuit being among the strong possibilities to host the event.
Although the responsible entities are trying for now to do everything possible for the event to take place, as usual, at the Ricardo Tormo circuit, as confirmed by the IRTA, the truth is that, judging by the current situation, this seems to be a difficult scenario, since not only was the circuit affected but also and above all many people lost everything.
With the focus on people, it is not unreasonable to start thinking about alternatives to host the final and decisive round of the world championship – in principle – and that may well be a possibility – not yet officially admitted but already being considered.
Among the hypotheses, according to some sources, the Portuguese circuit in Portimão is indeed among the strong candidates to host the final round of the World Championship, with the circuit gaining strength for having already been chosen as a substitute in other situations.
It is important to remember that the AIA gains even more strength, especially since it recently secured two more years with races on the MotoGP calendar.
