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

The season finale in grand prix motorcycling will not take place in Valencia due to the severe flash floods in the region which have caused wide-ranging destruction and left more than 200 people dead.

MotoGP cancelled its season-ending Valencia Grand Prix on Friday due to catastrophic floods and said it would announce a new venue and date. The death toll from Europe's worst weather disaster in five decades rose to 205 people,

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.

MotoGP plans to hold its new 2024 season finale at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya, on the same November 15-17 weekend as the cancelled Valencia round.

The Valencia MotoGP is cancelled and several other events have been postponed following the devastating flash floods in Spain.

MotoGP is poised to replace the cancelled Valencia GP with a new race in Barcelona, Autosport understands. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is now set to stage the season finale on 17 November, having already hosted the sixth round of the championship back in May.

The Valencia MotoGP round was meant to finish the 2024 MotoGP season, but the final race has been cancelled. Find out why this is and which tracks are likely to replace it.
