DANA left terrible consequences in the Valencian Community, in Albacete and Malaga. More than 90 deaths and countless material damage. In two weeks the last race of the MotoGP world championship will take place in Valencia and Marc Marquez requested its cancellation.
According to comments reported by ‘Motorsport’, Marc asks not to race on the circuit Ricardo Tormo: “Ethically speaking I don’t think the Valencia Grand Prix should take place, that would be a mistake. The only idea that would make sense would be for all the profits to go to the families. But, given the images here, if funds can be raised to actually help those affected, that would be the only logical option. »
“There should be another race elsewhere, “Two grands prix have already been canceled this year, it wouldn’t make sense to end the championship here now, there would have to be another race somewhere, but I also know how the teams are doing at the end of the year, it’s not easy for them financially”, underlines the Gresini rider, satellite of Ducati.
Demands that “all resources” be aimed at helping families who find themselves without anything: “As a Spaniard it is very difficult to see these images. Theoretically there is a race in Valencia in three weeks, but at the moment all resources must be used to help the families who found themselves without shelter.”
“We know that the surroundings of the circuit have been badly damaged, but it makes no sense to spend money to repair the accesses; resources should be devoted to helping people“, concludes the Cervera pilot.
The Ricardo Tormo circuit suffered significant damage thanks to DANA and there are less than two weeks left before the Grand Prix. And Marc asks for the decor to be changed.
