The devastating floods in Valencia were at the forefront of MotoGP’s attention on Thursday at Sepang.

Not only do Spanish riders🥂 make up ten of the 22-strong grid, but many teamཧ members plus commercial rights holder Dorna are based in the country.

Valencia is also set to host✤ MotoGP’s season finale on November 15-17, which is now in serious doubt for logistic♔al and ethical reasons.

Home rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro, due to compꦅete in his final MotoGP as a full-timeﷺ rider at the Valencia finale, said:

“The images on social media are nothing because I 🧔t♔alked with some friends who are living in small villages around Valencia and they tell me that everything is collapsed and destroyed.

“They have no houses, cars [washed away]. Normal🎃ly you see these images verꦦy far from you, but when it happens very close to your home, it's heartbreaking.”

Can MotoGP go there to race?

“I don’t know. It is a very difficult situation. Hopefully Carmelo [Espargaro], Dorna wi𝔉th the government in Spain will take the right decisiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚon,” Espargaro replied.

“It is not about the track facilities. I think they can be repaired more or less easy in two weeks, but it’s the situation with the hospitals and emergency pꦓeople. That is more important than to go there and do a sport show.

“In any case, I hope they make the right🥀 decision.”

Asked if he would feel comfortable racing at Valencia under the circ🍒umstances, the factory Aprilia rider said that 🦹if the event goes ahead “then somehow we have to help.”

“It can be handled in different ways. If we can giveꦉ Valencia something back,”ꦺ Espargaro said. “I don’t know how… We can give our prize money, I will do it 100%. We can do it. Or Dorna can find some way to help them as well.

“I don’t know. The situation is very complicated. Obviously, rightꦗ now it is the less important thing to go there and race.

“If we arꦜe able to go♑ there and race, then somehow we have to help.”

If Valencia doesn't go ahead, a last-minute alternatiꦇve such as Qatar, Portimao, Barcelona, Jere♉z or even a Sepang back-to-back have all been rumoured.

“MotoGP is such a big thing that they just cannot wꩵait to see the situation in Valencia. They need to work on a Plan B,” Espargaro said.

“I think also for the [title] contܫenders to do one more race is fair.

“I think the season has not been easy for Dorna in terms of organisation and racing calendar. Hopefull๊y, they can solve one more time.”

Espargaro is also open to changing the date of the season finale if it’s not possible to arrange a replacement on the same🎶 weekend.

“When there is a𝕴 big thing like this one, then I think we all have to be opౠen minded,” he said.

“A lot of peo🔴ple have lost their lives, their houses.

“We are just ride🍃rs. If we race one week earlier, or later then we will adaꦍpt. It is not a problem.”
