The roar of engines returned to the heart of Kuala Lumpur today for the official 2026 MotoGP Season Launch. The event features top international riders and the unveiling of new bike liveries, drawing thousands of motorsports fans to the city center.
To facilitate the event, several major roads including Jalan Ampang and Jalan P. Ramlee have been closed since early this morning. Traffic police have advised commuters to use public transport, specifically the LRT and Monorail, to avoid massive congestion expected throughout the afternoon.
The launch serves as a precursor to the upcoming Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang. It is part of a broader government initiative to promote Malaysia as a premier hub for international sporting events and sports tourism in Southeast Asia.
