Jerez paddock fire
In March, all MotoE teams tested the new motorcycles at the Circuito de Jerez but the newly built facility which housed the machines was destroyed by a fire which started around 12:15 a.m. of 14 March. Organizer Dorna Sports announced an investigation into the accident where no-one was injured. The remainder of the scheduled tests were cancelled.[16] A new pre-season test session took place in June and the start of the season was pushed back to the German GP, with the missed starting rounds at Jerez and Le Mans replaced by a doubleheader at the season finale in Valencia.[17]
