“Homologation works at the KymiRing, together with the risks caused by the ongoing geopolitical situation in the region, have sadly obliged the cancellation of the Finnish Grand Prix in 2022,” a statement from MotoGP read. 

“The current circumstances have created delays and put the ongoing work at the new circuit at risk.

The 2022 MotoGP season will now be just 20 races.
