Numerous team members and media have been unable to travel as planned this week due to the delay in receiving a visa, some even arriving at an airport🅷 in the hope of a last-minute breakthrough only to be turned away.

Marquez is one of those caught up in the disruption, posting on Instagram today (Tuesday):

“Flight delayed due to lack of visa for #IndiaGP. So we're🌺 going to pedal for a little while.”

The satellite LCR Honda team reports 🃏that its 'whole crew has made it to India', but Moto3 rider Filippo Farioli has had a 💦similar experience to Marquez.

Opening practice for the inaugural Indian MotoGP at the Buddh International Circuit, 1🎉68澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:already the subject of sa🐠fety concerns, is due to start on Friday morning.

In the run-up to this weekend, Marquez said: “I am really excited to meet all of the fans in India. It’s al🔯ways a nice moment when we bring MotoGP to a new country, new people and new fans to share our sport and our passion.

"We will need to work a lot to understand everything about the track and about our own situation withꦬ the bike. The objective is to put together another weekend like Misano, build o🐈ver each day and have a good pair of races.

"Let’s get ready for India and to meet everyone!”

While the immed✤iate focus is on this weekend's event, paddock personnel and - crucially - freight will then need to reach Motegi in Japan in time for the following Friday's practice action.
