MotoGP Indian Grand Prix: Second practice session delay attributed to ‘track conditions’

The Hindu  

The second Moto3 Free Practice session of the Indian Grand Prix at the Buddh International Circuit had to be postponed due to a non-racing issue on Friday. The session was delayed by 45 minutes, with the broadcast attributing the delay to the ‘track conditions’ although no repair works being undertaken were shown live on broadcast. The 45-minute delay further affected the practice sessions of Moto2 and MotoGP with the sessions rescheduled for 3:05 PM IST and 4:15 PM IST respectively. The first-ever MotoGP race in India was also marred by visa-related issues which saw Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez and KTM’s Brad Binder arriving at the circuit just ahead of media proceedings on Thursday.
