MADRID — Argentina's MotoGP race next year has been dropped from the calendar and will not be replaced after motorcycling bosses ran out of time to solve a row involving Spanish oil firm Repsol and the Spanish and Argentine governments. A MotoGP statement Friday said the sport's commercial rights holder Dorna was, however, committed to an Argentine Grand Prix in 2014 and beyond if the Termas de Rio Hondo track is approved. In June, the Spanish government recommended that teams and riders sponsored by Repsol should not travel to Argentina on safety grounds after the Argentines nationalized Repsol's interest there. — AP
