( CNN ) -- MotoGP will not visit Argentina until 2014 after next year 's race was scrapped following a row between Spanish oil firm Repsol and the Spanish and Argentine governments . The race , which had been supposed to be held in the second round of the season , had been in doubt following a travel warning by the Spanish government . The directive warned against drivers or teams sponsored by Repsol making the trip and although this was withdrawn on November 20 , the timing meant that the race had to be canceled . Lorenzo wraps up MotoGP title . Dorna Sports , commercial rights holder of the MotoGP™ World Championship , said in a statement : `` The Gran Premio de la República Argentina , which was set to take place at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit early next year , has not been included in the 2013 calendar . `` On June 20th 2012 , the Spanish government recommended that teams and riders sponsored by Repsol should not travel to the República Argentina due to safety reasons . Therefore , the celebration of the 2013 Gran Premio de la República Argentina remained under suspension until such recommendation would be kept in force . `` The deadline for Dorna Sports , commercial rights holder of the MotoGP™ World Championship , to officially propose the 2013 MotoGP™ Calendar to FIM was November 18th . `` On November 20th , the Spanish government notified through email sent to Dorna Sports the withdrawal of the above-referred recommendation , when the time for the Calendar presentation had already expired and therefore , there was no possibility to include a new MotoGP™ event . `` Anyhow , Dorna Sports commits itself to include Gran Premio de la República Argentina on the 2014 Calendar and onwards , to be approved by FIM subject to the homologation of the track , which presumably shall take place within the first quarter of 2013 . `` Dorna Sports recognizes the Gran Premio de la República Argentina Promoter´s efforts regarding the satisfactorily termination of the construction works and the organization and promotion preliminary activities .

Next year 's Argentine Grand Prix canceled . Row between Oil firm Repsol , Spanish and Argentine governments put pay to race . Travel warning by Spanish government withdrawn too late . MotoGP should return to Termas de Rio Hondo in 2014 .
