    The show has been cancelled after Switzerland followed Germany in banning gatherings of over 1000 people for the next few weeks.

    Gonna be a sad time for shows of all types I the near future. So many companies pulling out of various shows.

    This is like when 9/11 happened and loads of bands pulled out of Tattoo the Planet. Never got to see Pantera :sigh:

    Related, the government of Qatar has just instigated a travel ban on people from Italy and Japan, which means round one of Moto GP is cancelled since the ban covers every team except KTM.

    EXCEPT!

    All the Moto 2 and Moto 3 teams are already in Qatar for the annual pre-season juniors test. So they're not allowed to go home this week but they do get to have a race next weekend.

    Hong Kong Flu-ey strikes!
