MotoE was able to complete its opening pre-season test at Jerez from March 10-12, just before the circuit closed due to the growing coronavirus restr🍎ictions in Europe.

But with the situation yet to improve, both the second MotoE test and opening race of the ꦍyear h💮ave now been postponed.

The Sp𝓀anish track was due to hold the final test for the electric-bi🎀ke class from April 8-10, before an opening-round as part of the MotoGP weekend on May 1-3.

However a Dorna statement confirmed: "The ann💝ouncement from the FIM, IRTA and Dorna regarding the postponement of the Red Bull Gran Premio de España entails the postponement of the first MotoE event of the season, which was also set to be held at the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto from the 1st to the 3rd of May. The ongoing coronavirus outbreak has obliged the events to be postponed.

"The second pre-seasonౠ test for the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup, originally planned for the 8th to the 10th of April in Jerez, will a🍷lso not take place as scheduled.

"As the situatio🌄n remains in a state of constant evolution, new dates for the MotoE test and first race cannot be confirmed until it becomes clearer when exactly it will be possible for them to take place. A revised calendar will be published as soon as available."

Inaugural MotoE 🌞champion Matteo Ferrar𓆉i (Gresini) edged out Eric Granado (Avintia) by just 0.052s during the opening MotoE test.

The open🌄ing round of the R๊ed Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup was also due to be held during the Spanish MotoGP weekend.
