Yamaha has decided not to compete in the upcoming Qatar MotoGP round due to security fears, the manufacturer announced. The Japanese team cited concerns for the safety of its personnel and riders as the reason for its withdrawal from the event at the Lusail International Circuit.
The decision comes ahead of the scheduled Grand Prix weekend. Yamaha rider Fabio Quartararo, who competes for the Monster Energy Yamaha squad, was pictured during free practice at the recent Portuguese Grand Prix in Portimao.
