How delayed 2020 offers the chance for an experiment

It's still unknown when the MotoGP season - or any racing for that matter - will be able to resume thanks to the escalating coronavirus pandemic. But with a glut of postponed events set to be held towards the end of the year, MotoGP should consider experimenting with event formats to ease the strain on those working in the paddock once the action does resume

As the coronavirus pandemic fails to relent its deathly grip on the world, sport across the globe has been hit by unprecedented delays and cancellation as series bosses and governing bodies try to plot some sort of course through the chaos.

Last week, it was confirmed that the 2020 Formula 1 season won't start until at least June, as was expected when the farcical cancellation of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix came to pass.
