The Sachsenring looks unlikely to keep its place as MotoGP's provisional season-opener on June 21, after the German government extended a ban on large ꩵpublic gatherings until August 31.

It would therefore appear the only way Sacꦯhsenring could conceivably host an event before that date would be if it got ℱthe go-ahead to run behind closed doors (without fans).

Dorna is known to be considerไing such a 'cloꩲsed doors' policy if it's the only way to hold races this year.

But with an estimated 1,000 🔴staff still required for the three grand prix classes to operate, it would still be conꦿsidered a large gathering.

Should Germany become the ninth rꦿound to be cancelled or postponed so far this year, the Dutch TT at Assen on June 28 would be next to inherit the role of openi🥂ng round.

Just o🍸ne further event, the return of the Finnish Grand Prix on July 12, is then scheduled before the summer 🌳break.

However with a tyre test also needed before the inaugural KymiRing round, and the track not yet homꦏologated, it is perhaps the most likely event to join Qatar on the cancelled list.

It is estimated that onl🍒y around 10 of the planned 20 rounds will prove viable this year, due to the travel restrictions in place to contain the coronavirus.

MotoGP see𓄧ms to be working around December 15 as 🍸being the latest a race will take place this year.
