Recent severe flooding in Valencia, Spain, has taken a tragic toll, with over 150 people dead and many others affected. The intense rainfall, driven by a high-impact weather system called a DANA (Isolated Depression at High Levels), has overwhelmed emergency services and forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes, leading to a state of national crisis. The ongoing rain has brought significant disruption across the Valencian region, causing road closures, transportation delays, and power outages​.

Valencia received one years rain in one day.

With the MotoGP event at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia just weeks away, these conditions raise concerns about race preparations and the track’s safety. Floodwaters have damaged infrastructure across the region, and while the racetrack itself has not yet reported specific issues, access routes and facilities may be compromised.

If the rain persists or resumes as forecast, further flooding could impact the event’s viability altogether, posing a challenge for organizers working to prepare the track in time.

Efforts are underway to assess damage and make necessary repairs, though continued storm warnings may delay these plans. Authorities remain on alert for more rainfall, and if significant cleanup and infrastructure work are required at the circuit, it could impact spectator turnout, rider safety, and overall event operations.
