MotoGP – Australian GP Sprint will not take place

The weather certainly played many tricks on the Australian Grand Prix schedule. Although the decision was made to take maximum precautions to prevent inclement weather from disrupting the race to advance the sprint by an hour, the rain came and made any competition impossible.

Only the Moto3 race was fully contested this Sunday, with the Moto2 race being interrupted after nine laps, with strong winds and water on the track threatening the drivers’ safety.

“Changes have been made to the plan to try to ensure maximum activity at the track in the safest possible conditions on Sunday, but the weather – expected to worsen throughout the day – has forced the cancellation of any additional activity at the track. Following the premature conclusion of the Moto2 race”, teaches us Official announcement.

A decision that started on Friday evening suggested that it was better to cancel the sprint than the main race as the weekend’s events reversed.

We won’t be missing the MotoGP races for long, though, as the action continues next week in Buriram, Thailand (October 27-29)!
