No. They don't get a choice and I haven't heard of anyone refusing. Decision was made by the organising body. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiekerjozef Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Pretty soon they can start cancelling the races in Europe too. Over there it's gonna get worse then Asia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NCC1701A Posted March 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2020 globally all non essential activities and travel will not be allowed or you will be told that you have to do mandatory isolation. no concerts, sporting events, religious gathering. Mecca is closed this year. first responders must be in full virus gear. all ready checking for fever at Makro and other locations. expect your temperature to be taken a road check points in Thailand after the numbers explode. this is just the beginning. months to go. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it was Newin who was assuring that all practical cautions and measures available would ensure the event was safe...from local event view. Moto GP was not cancelled by the Government, only announced by. And as one of many events that have been postponed due to same fears around the world. No surprise. The biggest question will be what happens with the Tokyo Olympics ! By August who knows what paranoia will prevail? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will this guy be replaced? Not soon enough you can be sure. Not only that, A few hours ago he was saying it has been postponed not cancelled. Will await the press release from Dorna me thinks.

bluesofa Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 2 hours ago, darksidedog said: Indeed. I was just thinking the timing for this was a little coincidental considering his announcement that while he would NEVER (), stop people meeting for political reasons, he would stop them on health grounds. If the GP goes, nothing remains sacred and I can see us going back to the no more than 5 people may get together rule. 'he would stop them on health grounds'. Seems to me like a bullet in the back, or being hit by an APC or a tank could be considered health grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats probably what was said to Anutin by the ruling body of M" Moto GP ". But probably not as politely. I still cannot believe that this Muppet said that the event would go ahead, and be free of Covid19 If Prayut has a reshuffle, he should seriously consider this guy Anutin for a vocational change.

mrfill Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, DannyCarlton said: Ironic as WSB was cancelled partly due to Moto GP rearranging it's schedule to clash with WSB race. Moto GP normally in September. With the Chinese F1 cancelled in mid April , there must now be doubts about FI GP in Vietnam on 5th April. And the US motogp in early April. That's likely to be cancelled because of travel restrictions on people from Italy. There's a lot of teams and personnel from that way in motogp. I expect people here will still blame the Thais though. American airlines and Delta have both suspended flights from Milan for a start.

Titan1962 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Well I think this is just the beginning,GP/F1 next will be all international sports. But while I was watching the premiere league not one spectator was wearing a mask. I think that it’s too far gone now,people need to work so they won’t self isolate. People here won’t get tested because it costs to much 10,000 baht. They can’t shut down the whole country,so what will be will be. Just got to do the best you can and hope for the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fella is in face saving mode, as usual. Hmmm. If Dorna had cancelled, they would have been liable for costs - which would be considerable. When a government cancels, they're off the hook.

Yes I can understand that, I have never in my 57 yrs worn one either. Feels uncomfortable and annoying,but then again I have never lived in a country that has had so much pollution. So it’s hard to get used too,even now I struggle to wear it all the time. The misses wears hers like it’s part of her make up and every day ritual.

It's not been cancelled yet, but ive already admitted I was wrong (do read what others have posted before you start frothing at the mouth ?). When I heard Qatar was cancelled as I assumed Thailand would also be chopped. Due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, the decision has been taken to postpone the Thai GP As the global outbreak of coronavirus continues to develop, the Thai government has communicated that it won’t be possible to hold the OR Thailand Grand Prix on its original date. The FIM, IRTA and Dorna therefore regret to announce that the event, due to be held on the 22nd of March in Buriram, has been postponed. The FIM, IRTA and Dorna are currently evaluating if an alternative date is possible for the event later this season. Further updates will be published as soon as available. https://www.motogp.com/en/news/2020/03/02/or-thailand-grand-prix-postponed/326216 Edited March 2, 2020 by Don Mega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
