How MotoGP will decide Q2 riders if Practice is cancelled
Prev🍎iously, the top ten riders receiving direct access to Qualifying 2 were decided by the combined results of both Frꦉiday sessions.
But in order to reduce the risks 🤪of push🌄ing for a flying lap at the end of the opening 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, where the top two riders then progress to the Q2 pole po♎sition shootout.
- Jack Miller: ‘Fan✅tastic’ if KTM sign a big name 🔯like Marc Marquez
- Jack Miller: ‘Pretty cool’ to si🅘lence some critics, ‘now or 𒈔never’ to join KTM
- Joan Mir ‘didn't speak with Yamaha, believ𓆉es it can work with Honda’
Should the Friday afternoon session be cancelled, the Grand Prix Commission has ru꧑l♛ed that the results of Saturday morning free practice will be used to determine the Q1-Q2 riders instead.
If that Saturd💟ay session is also cancelled, the results from Friday mor𓃲ning will be used.
In the rare case that no practice sessions&nbs💝p;take place at🎐 all, ‘this is deemed force majeure and Race Direction will adjust the schedule and procedure as required, considering the prevailing conditions’.
