The strong wind that led to the cancellation of the Australian MotoGP Grand Prix sprint race is a constant risk at this time of year at Phillip Island, which suggests the idea of rescheduling it for the local summer season.
Maverick Viñales (Aprilia) was asked about this solution, and the Spanish rider from Aprilia believes it could be beneficial but doesn’t see it as a viable option:
– Maybe, I don’t know. But there are always tricky conditions in this part of the year, but I think logistically it’s impossible for them to move to the initial part of the year.
