Riders praise progress in MotoGP race to Saturday

The decision to modify the program of australian grand prix Sunday’s weather forecast was for poor weather, particularly high winds, which was agreed with the team and was publicly praised by the pilots. Preserving the MotoGP race was a top priority, so Saturday was replaced by the Sprint, but it is still unclear whether Sunday will be able to take place.

for Fabio Quartararo“It’s the right decision not to lose the race. First of all, it’s impossible to drive with strong winds, especially on this course. You can’t run at an intensity of 30km/h here, and they announced over 60km/h. It’s fair to do that, and I think I’ll be able to go home a little early on Sunday.

According to the 2021 world champion, the most complex points in these conditions are “the end of the straight (where Oliveira’s accident due to gusts occurred in 2019), high-speed areas such as Turns 2, 3 and 8, and the final He also declared that, like most people, wind is “much more dangerous” to him than rain.

for Aleix EspargaroThe decision, one of the top figures on the security committee, said: “It seems to me wise, because at the end of the day we are here to run, and given the current situation, tomorrow… It would be even crazier if I had to race all of a sudden, but “The procedure is exactly the same, it’s a pure and simple race, so I give it all the points because it’s coming to Australia, which is very far away.” So it’s only natural that we have a long race on Saturday.”

“For me nothing changes. Instead of the sprint race being run over 13 laps, it will be run over 27 laps and I hope that on Sunday the conditions will change and the sprint will be over,” he warned.

Marc Marquez He said that’s what’s been rumored and that “it’s a success because we were anticipating the problems that might happen on Sunday. So if Sunday is good, well, ultimately the format of the championship doesn’t change, but it’s good.” The information on the rear tires may change a little bit to select the tires, but the weekend format won’t change that much.” Pecco Bagnaia “Given the weather forecast for Sunday, there’s no question that it’s better. With winds expected to exceed 50km/h on Sunday, it’s difficult to even open the box. Without a doubt, it’s better.” “
