MotoGP Australian GP: Sprint race cancelled due to poor weather
Series promoter Dorna made the decision to cancel the MotoGP sprint race half an hour before it was scheduled to begin, following a chaotic Moto2 race that was red-flagged due to the wet and windy conditions. The main race of the weekend had already been moved to Saturday, which took place without incident and saw Johann Zarco as the winner. The MotoGP warm-up and Moto3 race were held safely on Sunday, but the wind worsened before the Moto2 race, resulting in multiple crashes. Dorna and team representatives held a meeting and decided to abandon the sprint race due to the ongoing unfavorable weather conditions. Zarco’s victory in the main event extended Francesco Bagnaia’s lead in the championship heading into the next weekend’s race in Thailand.
