Mat Oxley tweeting that he thinks it's unlikely to happen.

I'm not suprised. They will have to resurface the whole thing first.

Thing is they might not get it back if they lose it.

Stick them round Mallory - that would be a laugh :D

Nothing at the moment. They are arguing over who is going to pay for it.

I thought Dorna would only award them the rights to host Motogp if they confirmed it would be resurfaced. I guess the resurfacing delays are now what is causing the problem.

It would be a shame if they lost it but tbh after last year I wouldn't rush back anyway.

But will there be a British MotoGP though? I do agree though it shouldn't take place at Silverstone until they sort out the track surface, that was ridiculous last year

I don't think any other UK track currently reaches sufficient standard to host it.

I think Mat Oxley also posted a piece about Brands Hatch and the run offs.

Bikes in BSB have been known to clear the fencing at Brands BSB meets and his article explained how the extra speed of a Motogp bike would make a significant increase in the distance it would travel in the event of a crash.

Donington is the only viable option apart from Silverstone but even Donington needs some work doing to comply with what the FIA and Dorna want in order to host a MotoGP , I am pretty sure that MSV will be looking closely at what needs doing and the costs involved to bring it back to Donington .

Track being resurfaced in June by Tarmac ( not the company who did it before) and Motogp signed up until 2021.

At bloody last. Taken them long enough to decide. Couldnt agree more with not using the same company. Hope that company paid out big though for making Silverstone miss the MotoGP last year
