The strong winds persist at Phillip Island, which forced the cancellation of the MotoGP Australian GP sprint race. The start was scheduled for 04:00 (CET).
While rain was also a factor, the primary concern for safety was the intensity of the wind, which was predicted to worsen according to weather forecasts.
The Moto2 race had already been interrupted and canceled 14 laps before the finish, and conditions have deteriorated since then. It’s worth noting that the main race was rescheduled for yesterday to prevent the possibility of having to cancel it due to the strong winds and rain forecast for today.
