The Bol d'Or, the famous 24-hour motorcycle endurance race scheduled to take place on September 19-20 at the Paul Ricard circuit in Castellet (Var), has been canceled due to lack of capacity to accommodate spectators, organizers announced on Monday. "Following the strengthening of restrictions to stop the Covid-19 epidemic in France, the Prefecture of the Var has just withdrawn this authorization to welcome spectators at Le Castellet. This decision requires Editions Larivière, organizer of the race, to cancel the Bol d'Or 2020 ", they write in a statement. "
This final event of the FIM EWC season has already been replaced by the 12 Hours of Estoril which will take place on September 27 in Portugal. "
