How MotoGP will decide Q2 riders if Practice is cancelled
Previously, th﷽e top t🐟en riders receiving direct access to Qualifying 2 were decided by the combined results of both Friday sessions.
But in order to reduce the risks of pushing for a flying lap at the end of the open🉐ing session - in case of rain in the afternoon, for example - the Q2 top ten is now decided purely on the results of the afternoon session.
Those outside the top ten must take part in Qualifying 1, w⛦here the top two riders then progress to the Q2 pole position shootout.
- Jack Miller: ‘Fantastic’ if KTM ෴sign a big name like Marc Marquez
- Jack Miller: ‘Pretty cool’ to silence some critics, ‘⛎now or never’ to join KTM
- Joan Mir ‘didn't✨ speak with Yamaha, believes it can work wꦇith Honda’
Should the Friday afternoon session be cancelled, the Grand Prix Commission has ruled that the results of Saturday morning free practice will be us🌜ed to determine the Q1-Q2 riders instead.
If that Saturday session is also cancelled, 𒉰the results from ꦍFriday morning will be used.
In the rare case that no practice sessions take place at all, ‘this is deemed force maꦜjeure and Race Direction will adjust the schedule and procedure as required, considering the prevailing conditions’.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at 🀅the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
