The pilots said the cancellation was a "pity" and one "misfortune"

The issue of cancellation of the day on Friday of Argentine GP due to championship logistics problems to transfer all the material of the Indonesian teams to Argentina, Thursday’s Media Day was dedicated to Termas de Río Hondo. Everyone regretted the cancellation that would force them to make a different effort than usual, in a very stressful situation, and they spoke of “pity” and even “misfortune” for what happened. The big challenge is for mechanics who need about three hours to assemble the box and another four hours to assemble each bike. If they arrive on time, i.e. around 8pm locally according to Dorna’s calculations, those affected by the delay will have work all night and then participate in a long day of Saturday training and qualys.

ALEX RINS (without the box with personal material)

“All that can be said is embarrassing, because going here and having such a problem is a shame, tomorrow the day is pretty long. It’s about spending the day, circling the circuit with the team. To see a little bit about in new potholes and prepare a little for Saturday. I knock on wood but, usually, we don’t change bikes much from Friday to Sunday, so more or less can be used “

POL ESPARGARÓ (nothing missing)

“It’s a shame for everyone, for the organizer, for the teams that don’t have the bikes ready and for all the riders, who have to make a marathon day. It’s a day with all the free training and especially the classifications, which They are the most stressful moments in a circuit, all in one day and in a circuit that we haven’t been to more than two years.It is or is going to be a very, very stressful day. “

“Whether it comes on time or not, although I hope and I want to believe; we have everything in our pits so we can drive and ride, but I think for teams that don’t, it’s a task, but the these are unusual circumstances, no one is to blame, but the planes that came from I understand were broken and they had to be repaired, and that is something that is not in our hands.

“We all prefer a normal weekend, not only for the riders, but for the team, since it is very stressful for the rider and, obviously, stressful for the mechanics, because if there is a crash everything has to be fixed properly. fast. and there is no plan B, and the engineers have to prepare the bike and everyone is in a hurry, but the circumstances are what they are and we have to solve it the way we can ”

FABIO QUARTARARO (everyone has arrived)

“We cross our fingers for everyone to arrive on time, although in any case, it will be a challenge, especially in mechanics, because they have a lot to do and Saturday is a very long day, although it will be very good for television. follow all that activity and we will see in our case how it works and we will just miss a day and free session ”

“In the end it’s always the same, if your bike is going well from the beginning, even one day is enough, but as soon as you have some troubles, you need Friday night and Saturday morning to try to solve it and that’s why it’s why hard to say, but it will be a good experience and from my point of view I would like to move, but for mechanics and families it will be more difficult, although it will be a new experience to have only two days ”

ENEA BASTIANINI (She lacks everything, the motorcycle and the personal)

“We don’t have any, but I hope everyone arrives tomorrow. It’s hard with the mechanics, but I think everything will be up and running on Saturday.”

“I don’t know if there’s a favor, you have to be more focused because there’s less time between sessions to change the bike and it’s harder to get the perfect setup, the important thing is to make the best decisions as soon as possible”

MIGUEL OLIVEIRA (missing one of two motorcycles)

“We’re happy because only one bike is missing, but the other teams are missing everything. The condensing will be different on Saturday, it will be a challenge, especially in mechanics, but I’m happy anyway. I don’t see any manufacturer having one. more advantage than others. “

JOAN MIR

“It’s like when it rains on Friday and dry on Saturday. It’s like that but without going around the treadmill. It’s going to be hard, most of all we kind of have to cross fingers because there are chances that you put the bike on the track and you play very little and you do the whole weekend like this, the bike is perfect and then you have a great weekend . But there are times when it’s not like that, when everything needs to be in order and normal what we don’t, which will be the biggest difference, is on Friday night to fine-tune the bike with the team to take a step forward in The next day. We will not have that time to do it or study it perfectly. We will see”.

PECCO BAGNAIA (with bicycles, but no spare parts)

“I sincerely hope we can compete, because a fewer careers can make more of a difference. However, so far, this is the biggest unknown. It’s important to start well right away and stay focused. Fortunately, it’s not happened on a track like Austin., which requires a lot of work. But on a track that is somewhat similar to Indonesia in configuration and layout, we are not calm, because there is something to be done. “
