MotoGP: Lightning struck the track before the start of the race
A storm erupted just before the start of the Indonesian Grand Prix in MotoGP, delaying the start of the race and even bringing a thunderclap to the track.
A thunderstorm and a storm that hit the track before the start of the race delayed the start of the MotoGP Grand Prix being held in Indonesia. The intense weather phenomena appeared and affected the smooth start of the race.
While waiting, people near the track saw an impressive, but at the same time dangerous spectacle, when lightning struck the asphalt and the lens immortalized the moment.
The race duration was reduced from 27 to 20 laps, which the organizers had already taken care of before the storm broke out. In fact, due to the bad weather conditions, the company that supplies the teams with their tires provided special kits to ensure the correct conduct of the race and reduce the risk of accidents.
