Yamaha has withdrawn from the Qatar Grand Prix as the ongoing war in the Middle East continues to disrupt the MotoGP calendar, according to a report by Motorsport.com journalist Rachit Thukral.
The Japanese manufacturer's decision marks a significant development for the premier motorcycle racing championship, with the Qatar round traditionally serving as the season opener at the Lusail International Circuit.
No further details regarding the specific safety concerns or logistical challenges prompting the boycott were immediately available. The MotoGP organization has not yet issued an official statement on the matter or announced potential calendar adjustments.
