JAKARTA, THE NUSANTARA POST- If Mandalika, Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) becomes the host of the MotoGP match, Jakarta will have the MotoGP Parade today, starting from the State Palace to the Hotel Indonesia (HI) Roundabout.
There will be at least 20 racers who will participate in the parade to welcome the Indonesian MotoGP. They will take a short route from the Merdeka Palace and end at the Kempinski Hotel, Wednesday (16/3/2022).

The event started with a meeting of the riders with President Joko Widodo at the Merdeka Palace. They will have breakfast together while talking.
