Moving the Qatar race to Phillip Island: who’s going to pay for it? Putting on a race costs millions, and we’re not going to have some sort of ‘Bahrain in Sepang’ scenario while Qatar is adamant that we’re still going there (until it’s too late to have a plan b)

A Monday race was totally impossible without sacrificing Sepang. Half the paddock already flew to Malaysia last night, freight will go today to clear customs in time, crews will start working tomorrow. Logistically impossible.

Just to be abundantly clear on something: this is NOT the place to come and talk shit, act like an expert, or spew conspiracy theories about the medical evacuation helicopter. Airmed is one of the few golden rules that we have. It is an untouchable factor.

Fair play: 'we are working with our ticketing partners to facilitate the process for full refunds for Sunday ticketholders and partial refunds for multi-day ticketholders'

I wonder if there's an insurance clause that says bikes on tracks means no ticket refunds...

Everything about today was out of the hands of the organisers. There was nothing that could have made the race happen. BUT. We knew this forecast on Thursday, and we've rearranged a race before at PI to make sure we could at least award 25 points.

Just been told that the race isn't going ahead... That we're going to form on the grid, but that it will be for a parade lap and NOT a race...

Phillip Island basically saying to MotoGP: OK, you don’t love me anymore, so you can fuck right off

New update: nothing happening on track until at least 3pm (two and a half hours from now), and the MotoGP race will be the priority. I think we can now say goodbye to any chance of a Moto2 and Moto3 race today - and I don't think we're going racing at all... Next update 2pm.
