Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia says MotoGP riders have been asking for the Australian Grand Prix to be changed to earlier in the season, after poor weather forced Sunday to be cancelled.
The threat of extreme winds for Sunday forced MotoGP to alter the schedule for the Australian GP weekend, with the main race – won by Johann Zarco – taking place on Saturday. The sprint race was rescheduled for Sunday at 1pm local time, but had to be cancelled after conditions deteriorated through the Moto3 and Moto2 contests – the latter seeing 10 riders crash in nine laps before it was red flagged.
com last year: 'MotoGP has Qatar locked in as first race; that precludes January or February.'We have Formula 1 at the start of the year and we need breathing space within our organisation. Plus we have to think about infrastructure and suppliers and so on.'So the right time for MotoGP is this slot. It's a slot we're very comfortable with and so is Dorna.”Qatar did not host the opening round of 2023 due to track works being carried out, but will do so in 2024.
