Background

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

The opening rounds of the 2020 championship were heavily affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Several Grands Prix were cancelled or postponed after the aborted opening round in Qatar, prompting the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme to draft a new calendar. However, the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix was not impacted by this change and kept its original date.

MotoGP Championship standings before the race

After the sixth round at the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix, Fabio Quartararo on 70 points, lead the championship by 3 points over Andrea Dovizioso with Jack Miller a further 14 points behind.

In the Teams' Championship, Petronas Yamaha SRT with 102 points, lead the championship from Monster Energy Yamaha with 93. Ducati Team sat one point behind the factory Yamaha in third, and 8 points ahead of fourth-placed KTM Factory Racing with 84 points, while Team Suzuki Ecstar sat 5th on 73 points.
