This year was meant to mark a record-breaking year for MotoGP, as it embarked on what was supposed to be its longest season ever at 21 rounds.
MotoGP added two new events to the provisional schedule for 2023, pending final sign-off at the track homologation stage, with Kazakhstan and Indian rounds joining the fray.
The Kazakhstan GP was due to take place on the 9 July at the new Sokol circuit near Almaty.
However, due to the circuit not being ready in time, MotoGP organisers have announced the event is being scrapped for the 2023 season with the hopes of being able to run it in 2024.
The 4.495km track has been designed by Hermann Tilke and is billed as an FIA Grade 2 circuit.
MotoGP will not replace the Kazakhstan GP, meaning the summer break between the Dutch TT on 25 June and the British GP on 6 August will be a welcomed six weeks.
At present, the inaugural Indian GP at the Buddh International Circuit will still take place on the 24 September.
