Update: The practice schedule has been revised again. 

Friday afternoon's MotoGP Practice will now revert to the standard one-hour long session, starting at 15:00 local time, instead of the planned 80-minute session (due to the cancellation of FP1).

Saturday morning's final free practice remains at an extended 40 minutes, rather than the usual 30 minutes.

A revised practice schedule for the Australian MotoGP has been announcedඣ following the ca💝ncellation of FP1 at Phillip Island.

Heavy rain saw opening practice delayed for almost two hours before finally bein𒀰g a💫bandoned.

Not only was rain lashing down but water appeared to sit on top of the new track sur꧂face, rather than draining through it, creating an aquaplaning risk around the super-fast seaside circuit.

The new schedule will see Friday's afternoon Practice, also used to determine the top ten riders with direct accꦫess to Q♔ualifying 2, extended from the usual one hour to one hour and 20 minutes.

The session is set to start atꦜ the planned time of 15:00 local ꧃time.

Saturday m🍸orning's final free practice has also been extended, from 30 to 40 minutes, sꦉtarting at 10:00.

Conditions at Phillip Island h🦋ave fortunately improved since this morning's rain, b𒈔ut further downpours remain a risk for the rest of the day.

Saturday is forecast to be dryer but windy, with the best weather on Sunday𒁏.
