MotoGP Indian GP sprint facing rain delay and additional practice
This weekend is the first time in MotoGP history that the series is racing in India at the former Formula 1 venue near New Delhi. The extreme heat during practice on Friday led to a change in race distances, with the sprint being shortened to 11 laps and the grand prix being shortened by three laps. The hot weather has already proved punishing for riders, causing discomfort and burning sensations. Heavy rain before the Moto3 qualifying session on Saturday afternoon has caused a delay in the qualifying action. If conditions improve, there will be an additional practice session in wet conditions before the sprint. Some riders have expressed concern about the safety of the circuit in wet conditions due to the proximity of barriers in certain areas. Bezzecchi currently leads in the Ducati 1-2-3-4 qualification for the MotoGP Indian GP.
