Marc Marquez and Repsol Honda team-mate Joan Mir shared the opinion of most riders that cancelling Sunday’s Australian MotoGP Sprint race had been the right decision.
The Sprint race, originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, was postponed to Sunday due to forecasts of extreme wind and rain. However, the storm arrived as predicted. The MotoGP Warm-up session and the Moto3 Grand Prix took place, but the Moto2 race was abandoned after 10 laps due to worsening conditions. Following a meeting with the teams, the 13-lap Sprint race scheduled for 1pm was cancelled due to safety concerns caused by strong winds. The track was considered rideable during the warm-up, but conditions continued to deteriorate. The riders expressed their understanding of the decision and are now looking forward to the next races.
