The decision to change the program of Australian Grand Prix Due to the poor weather forecast for Sunday, especially due to strong winds, it was agreed upon by the teams and, therefore, publicly applauded by the pilots. The priority was to save the MotoGP Race, which is why Saturday was swapped for Sprint, while Sunday was up in the air if it could be held.
For Fabio Quartararo“the decision was right not to lose a race, first because of the wind it is impossible to ride, especially on this track. Here you can’t do it at 30 km / h intensity and they announced more than 60 km / h. . It is It’s fair that it be done that way and I think that on Sunday we will go home earlier.
According to the 2021 world champion, the most complicated points in these conditions are: “end of the straight – where Oliveira’s accident occurred in 2019 due to a gust of wind -, turn two, turn three, fast areas, like the turn eight, at the last curve”, he also assured that for him, like most, the wind is “more dangerous” than the rain.
For Aleix Espargaroone of the heavy ones in the Security Commission, the decision, “seems smart to me, because in the end we come here to run and, what is there, it’s crazier if tomorrow suddenly we have to do a race, but given that “The procedure is exactly the same, it is a pure and simple race, so it is logical that since we arrived in Australia, which is very far, we gave all the points and have a long race on Saturday.”
“For me nothing will change, it is the sprint race that instead of being held in 13 is done in 27 laps and after Sunday, hopefully the conditions will change, and the sprint will be over,” he warned.
Marc Márquez He pointed out that it is something that has been rumored and that “It is a success because you anticipate the problem that may arise on Sunday. Then, if Sunday is good, well, in the end the format of the championship does not change, although it may it changes the information you have about the rear tire a little bit, to pick the good one, but it doesn’t change the format of the weekend.” AND Pecco Bagnaia that “considering the weather forecast I saw for Sunday, it is better, without a doubt. On Sunday it will be difficult even to open the box, because the wind of 50 km / ho more is expected. No doubt it’s better.”
