Moto GP Raceweek: Gusting winds force qualifying postponement at Phillip Island
The HinduQualifying for the premier-class race at the Australian Moto GP was postponed until Sunday after weather conditions were deemed too unsafe to ride in. Strong winds and rain buffeted Phillip Island on Saturday and FP4 was brought to a premature end after Red Bull KTM's Miguel Oliveira was blown off the track heading into Turn 1. Conditions were deemed unsafe at a subsequent safety commission meeting involving the riders, with qualifying now set to take place prior to the race on Sunday. "It's true that it was very dangerous" - @marcmarquez93 Marc explains that the wind was dangerous when riding on your own but even worse when riding close to others #AustralianGPpic.twitter.com/bxFMZo1T5t — MotoGP™ October 26, 2019 "We hope the conditions are better for tomorrow."
