LONDON — MotoGP announced financial measures on Friday to help independent teams and those in the Moto2 and Moto3 categories weather the novel coronavirus crisis. The MotoGP season has yet to get going with the opener in Qatar on March 8 cancelled and a string of successive races postponed. The next race on the calendar that has yet to be called off is the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello on May 31, but that also looks unlikely to go ahead as planned given the situation in the country. Italy and Spain, where a majority of the riders and teams come from, are the two European countries most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
