MotoGP riders are escalating their efforts to prevent the Qatar Grand Prix from taking place, according to reports from Motorsport. The collective action represents a final push by competitors to avoid racing at the Losail International Circuit.
Details surrounding the specific reasons for the riders' opposition remain limited, but the coordinated pressure suggests significant concerns among the peloton. The Qatar Grand Prix has been a fixture on the MotoGP calendar since 2004, traditionally serving as the season opener under floodlights.
Photographer Oriol Puigdemont captured images of the riders' activities as the situation develops. The outcome of this standoff could have implications for the 2026 MotoGP championship schedule.
