The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will host the 2024 MotoGP season finale after the cancellation of the Valencian Grand Prix.

After initially wanting to run the 2024 MotoGP finale at Valencia as planned on November 15-17, MotoGP made the right decision to cancel the event at the Ricardo Tormo circuit. However a replacement is scheduled for the same weekend and it looks like Barcelona will be the destination of choice.

If MotoGP do end the season in Barcelona it would be their second visit to the circuit in 2024. Circuit de Catalunya held the seventh round of the 2024 MotoGP season. In this round, Aleix Espargaro won the Sprint Race before Francesco Bagnaia won the Grand Prix on Sunday.

Barcelona has been hit with red weather warnings as flooding impacts the city, with MotoGP set to head there in two weeks to close the 2024 season. The Catalan city has been hit by flooding this morning (Monday 4 November), and a red alert warning of ‘Extreme Danger’ has been issued.
