MotoGP's season-opener, the Grand Prix of the Americas is in doubt after host city, Austin Texas declared a COVID-19 emergency. 

This means the city will suspend any events with that have 2,500 or more attendees, unless event organisers can prove they have appropriate measures to contain the spread of the disease.

Austin was originally meant to host the third race of the season, but the schedule was revised after the Qatar opener was cancelled, while the second round in Thailand was postponed. 

Meanwhile, the CEO of the Sepang International Circuit has launched an online poll, asking fans if the track should host one of the affected races, in addition to the Malaysian Grand Prix. 

Around 95 percent of respondents said yes.

Man City will reportedly allow Sergio Aguero to leave in the summer, IF that's what the striker wants. 

It's believed that Aguero is happy at City, but he could consider his options if City lose their appeal against their 2-year Champions League ban.
