The MotoGP round just got cancelled and even though they have a contract for next year no one is expecting that to happen..

The World Motocross round in Argentina was also being rumored to be cancelled but it is still up.... so far.

It wouldn't be the biggest surprise if that went as well; I think it was last year when it got pitiful entries (might have been 2022) - not a good look. The MXGP promoters are as bad as the WRC's.....

I think it's the same local promoter for both, isn't it? WRC and MXGP?

2022 was really weird but Tbh the round in Argentina in 2023 had the biggest number of entries Or something like that. More than 32 riders if I remember correctly. Almost 15 south americans, I think?

MXGP has also being super weird. The grids looks so empty. They keep going to asian countries to race in fake tracks with 14 riders starting the races. I dont understand. Covid is a factor, sure, and they are going to recover. But its weird to see such a simple sport having so little entries. OR MAYBE the promoter WANTS to have just the top facotry teams? Idk. Hope it gets better for 2024, at least on the european rounds.

Yes, you're right - it was 2022 that was poor - last year was the first round of the championship - and the return of 'The Bullet'.
