MotoGP, Sprint Race cancelled at Phillip Island

Strong wind and cold temperatures, race management stops everything

Due to adverse weather conditions, the Sprint Race scheduled at Phillip Island, home of the Australian GP, è has been cancelled. Impossible to ensure the safety of the riders. Hence the decision of the race directorate not to run.

Already; the GP had been brought forward to Saturday due to adverse weather conditions. To hold the Sprint Race would have been too much of a risk for everyone. Note that, in Moto2, è the red flag was shown with 13 laps to go.

"I always regret not racing, because é they are possibilities for points. In the warm up we had some problems, but he knew what it was. We were ready in the wet and we were going to fight to win. We gave up points that could have been comfortable. In Moto2 Vietti è crashed because of the wind, so he was really on the limit. Too bad, because I was feeling good. We knew that Indonesia and Australia, along with Japan, would be complicated. But I am happy to leave here with the results we had", the words of World Championship leader Pecco Bagnaia.
