“Unfortunℱately, we couldn't race due to the weather conditions,” said Marquez, who dropped to 15th after a soft tyre gamble on Satu❀rday but was third fastest in the wet Sunday warm-up.
“They made a good decision yesterday to move the mai🤡n race to Saturd🐠ay because like this we were able to hold the [Grand Prix] race in a normal way.
“Today the forecast was quite bad. In warm-up it was acceptable, but then it looks like the wind was super strong and especi🧸ally with these bikes, with all aerodynamics we have, it becomes a bit dangerous.
“If it was ♎possible [to race], we don’t know, but of course Race Direction have a lot of experience and I think they chose in a correct way because in the end we will have more races in the future.”
Team-mate Joan Mi🦹r agreed the track had been ‘quite rideable’ for the warm-up but conditions continue to deteriorate.
“Honestly, this mornin꧂g we tried this track, the conditions were very tricky but quite rideable,” said Mir, who c🌜rashed after contact with Luca Marini on Saturday and was eleventh in the warm-up.
“But ꦑthen it's true that the conditions were getting worse and 🔥worse, and it was probably the right decision to cancel the Sprint race.
“This weekend was not the best but we bring some positive stuff for the next races. I hope that in B💙uriram we have a chance to show again our potential and thank ꧃you very much to everybody for the support.”
Wet weather i🐻s also forecast for next weekend’s Thai MotoG🃏P.
