The Australian Grand Prix’s schedule has been changed due to the risk of high winds and bad weather. This could potentially impact the MotoGP title battle between Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, as 12 valuable points are at stake. The main race has been moved to Saturday, while the sprint race is provisionally moved to Friday, weather permitting. Bagnaia has struggled in the practice sessions and will have to progress from Q1 to Q2. He has had issues with his bike’s acceleration and traction, causing him to lose time in certain sections of the track. Despite his slower single-lap pace, Bagnaia is confident in his race pace and believes he is not in a terrible position at a track known for overtaking opportunities.
