Race calendar and results
editThe 2020 season calendar was announced on 21 November 2019, with 13 rounds scheduled.[1]The championship visitedCircuit de Barcelona-Catalunya(on 19 and 20 September) for the first time,[2]and a round was due to be staged atOschersleben– on 1 and 2 August – for the first time since2004.[3]Due to thecoronavirus pandemic,the Losail round was postponed to an unannounced date[4]and the Jerez,[5]Assen,[6]Aragon and Misano rounds were rescheduled to a later date, while the Imola[7]and Oschersleben[8]rounds were cancelled. As a result of updates made to theMotoGPcalendar for the same reason, the French round date was also affected.[5]Despite having already been rescheduled, the Assen round was later postponed to a to-be-determined date, along with the Donington round.[9]
On 19 June, an updated calendar was published; for the restart, Jerez and Portimão were brought forward from their respective dates and a second round at Aragon was added to the schedule. Other five rounds—the first at Aragon, as well as Barcelona, Magny-Cours, San Juan and Misano—either kept their original or revised dates, although the latter two events were labelled as 'to be confirmed'. Three rounds—Losail, Donington and Assen—were included without a confirmed date[10][11]and were subsequently cancelled on 24 July.[12]The San Juan round was cancelled on the 13 August[13]whilst the Misano round was cancelled and replaced by a round in Estoril on 18 August.[14][15]It was the first time since1993that the championship raced at Estoril.
