MotoGP’s deputy chief Carlos Ezpeleta says the ‌‌‌‌championship was right to go ahead with the Qatar Grand Prix despite rider concerns about travelling to the Gulf amid the United States-Israel war on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Iran , but added that Yamaha’s ⁠⁠⁠⁠withdrawal came as a surprise. MotoGP had based its decision on official information from the Qatari government and from embassies with a large presence in the paddock, Ezpeleta revealed on Wednesday. The race was postponed from April to November 6–8 due to the regional conflict, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Ezpeleta said the event would have been cancelled or postponed again if the situation had escalated. “We can unequivocally say that it was the right decision,” Ezpeleta told the Reuters news agency.
