The MotoGP finale has been switched from Valencia to Barcelona because of the devastating floods in Spain. The last round of the series was scheduled for the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia but the venue has been impacted by the floods caused by torrential rain.

Dorna has officially confirmed Barcelona as the venue which will decide who is the 2024 MotoGP world champion.

Barcelona will host the final race of the MotoGP season next week in place of flood-hit Valencia, organisers Dorna announced on Tuesday.

He's the series' boss, who failed to see that holding a race in what's essentially a disaster zone, where more weather was already pushing in, the same weather that has decimated Valencia, would then affect Barcelona,

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.

The 2024 Valencia GP is canceled due the the devastating floods in the region. Circuit de Catalunya-Barcelona will host the final MotoGP, November 15-17.
