The MotoGP World Championship grand finale will not take place in Valencia. The last race of the season, scheduled for November 15-17, has been cancelled due to the devastation caused by the floods that hit the region. This decision was made in collaboration with local authorities and after a meeting of the safety commission. The race is expected to be moved to another location, which will be announced soon.

Francesco Bagnaia has made his position clear on the situation, saying he is not willing to race in Valencia, even if it means giving up his main goal: winning the world title. Bagnaia stressed that, following the tragedy caused by the flood in the Spanish city, it would not be appropriate to hold the grand prix there. He said it is important to consider the ethical aspect of the situation and that racing in such circumstances would not be correct.

Marc Marquez also took a similar stance, breaking his silence on the issue. Spanish riders feel particularly affected, especially Marquez, who is from Cervera, a city not far from Valencia. He stressed that it would be an ethical mistake to proceed with the Grand Prix in this situation. Marquez explained that, despite being far from the affected area, they have been following the developments closely and feel great sadness at seeing people facing such difficulties. He highlighted how it is essential to allocate all available resources to help those affected by the floods and said that sporting events should take a back seat to the need for assistance for the victims.

The current situation highlights the importance of putting people first and considering the ethical implications of decisions to be made in the world of sport. The words of the pilots show great sensitivity towards the difficulties of their country and the intention to act responsibly towards the dramatic circumstances that many Spanish citizens are facing. The sports community is therefore united in wanting to respect the memory and dignity of the people involved in this serious crisis.
