MotoGP坚持卡塔尔站如期举行：车手要求更多安全保证、主办方称零风险环境不现实
MotoGP 表示，卡塔尔大奖赛将按计划举行，尽管一批车手要求就前往该地区参赛获得更多保证；主办方认为，要求一个「零风险环境」并不现实。
这场在 Lusail 国际赛车场举行的比赛原定4月举行，因地区冲突推迟到11月6日至8日，将是本赛季第20站。
MotoGP 发言人对路透社表示：「MotoGP 已向车队与车手提供了来自卡塔尔政府、赛车场以及我们自身持续风险评估流程所能提供的全部保证。我们完全尊重各方提出的关切，并强调安全始终是所有相关人员的首要事项。」但发言人同时表示，期待一个零风险环境，在世界任何地方、由任何政府或主办方来实现都不现实。
MotoGP 副首席执行官 Carlos Ezpeleta 周四到访卡塔尔，赛车场主席 Abdulrahman Al-Mannai 表示，赛场已准备好迎接车手、车队与车迷。不过，西班牙驻卡塔尔使馆已发布通知，敦促本国公民如非绝对必要不要前往这个海湾国家。西班牙车手在参赛阵容中占比最大，其中包括世界冠军 Marc Marquez。
一名 MotoGP 消息人士称，卡塔尔已保证，一旦冲突升级，车队不会被困在当地，可以安全离境、赶上11月晚些时候在葡萄牙与西班牙举行的最后两站。
这位消息人士说，积分榜领跑者、七届 MotoGP 世界冠军 Marquez 是要求更多保证的车手之一。Marquez 尚未公开表态；Ducati 车队经理 Davide Tardozzi 为他辩护说：「Marc 只是和许多其他车手一样，要求一份组织层面的安全方案——仅此而已。他没有说『我不想去』。」
Aprilia 车队则表示愿意赴卡塔尔参赛，其西班牙车手 Jorge Martin 在积分榜上排第二，此前因手腕受伤退出了马来西亚大奖赛。路透社已联系 Ducati 与 Marquez 寻求置评。据路透社报道。
MotoGP Confident Qatar Race Can Go Ahead Despite Rider Pushback Over Safety
MotoGP is set to go ahead with the Qatar Grand Prix even as a group of riders demand more assurances for travelling to the region, with organisers arguing that a "zero-risk environment" is unrealistic.
The race at the Lusail International Circuit, originally scheduled for April, was postponed to November 6-8 due to the regional conflict. It will be the 20th round of the season.
"MotoGP has provided teams and riders with every assurance available from the State of Qatar, the circuit and our own ongoing risk assessment processes," a MotoGP spokesperson told Reuters. "We fully respect the concerns raised and highlight that safety remains the priority for everyone involved." However, the spokesperson said the expectation of a zero-risk environment was not realistic anywhere in the world by any government or organiser.
Carlos Ezpeleta, deputy CEO of MotoGP, visited Qatar on Thursday, where the circuit's president Abdulrahman Al-Mannai said they were ready to welcome the riders, teams and fans. However, Spain's embassy in Qatar has issued a notice urging its citizens not to travel to the Gulf nation unless it was absolutely necessary. Spaniards make up the largest share of riders on the grid, including world champion Marc Marquez.
A MotoGP source said Qatar has guaranteed teams would not be stranded in case of escalation in the conflict and they could leave the country safely in time for the final two rounds in Portugal and Spain later in November.
The source said championship leader Marquez, a seven-times MotoGP champion, was one of the riders seeking more assurances. Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi defended the Spaniard: "Marc simply asked, as many other riders did, for an organisational safety plan - nothing more, nothing less. He did not say, 'I don't want to go'."
Aprilia are keen to race in Qatar with Spanish rider Jorge Martin, second in the standings behind Marquez after withdrawing from the Malaysian Grand Prix due to a wrist injury. Reuters has contacted Ducati and Marquez for comment, according to Reuters.
