One thing is certain: the French GP will take place! It will be held on October 9, 10 and 11 on the Le Mans circuit, but "given the current situation, whether in France or in all the countries concerned by the MotoGP world championship, and having regard to the decisions taken by Dorna and the FIM, it will perhaps be organized behind closed doors ", specifies the organizer of the French race.

The 2020 French Grand Prix behind closed doors ?

"To date, the government rules in place do not allow to consider a friendly, festive event, with many activities and free movement of the public within the circuit", explains Claude Michy without however excluding "the hypothesis to consider the presence of the public in case the conditions evolve positively and if the State services authorize gatherings without major constraint by October, as for other major sporting events (Tour de France, 24 Hours of Le Mans auto, Roland Garros, resumption of the French football championship) affected by the same constraints and positioned before the SHARK Helmets Grand Prix de France ".

If the 2020 MotoGP French Grand Prix were to take place behind closed doors, "we will fully understand the disappointment and frustration of French MotoGP fans and loyal spectators", continues the organizer, "but in the face of this state of affairs and in this unpredictable context, the organization of the SHARK Helmets Grand Prix de France would have no other options than to cancel the 2020 edition altogether or to prepare it behind closed doors, a choice which would therefore be retained ".
