First India MotoGP race to be shortened due to intense heat
Due to safety concerns and intense heat during practice sessions, the distance for both the sprint race and the grand prix at the Buddh circuit in Delhi has been reduced. The sprint race will now be 11 laps instead of 12, and the grand prix will be 21 laps instead of 24. The riders have praised the technical challenge and variety of corners at the circuit but have struggled with the extreme heat, with temperatures expected to reach 37C at the start of the sprint race and humidity levels as high as 92%. Despite strong performance in practice, Honda’s pace is believed to be unexpected and not indicative of their true performance.
