I had some thoughts on the first World Superbike round of the season. On how Alex Lowes took a step forward, Nicolo Bulega is the real deal, Toprak is already fast on the BMW, and Rea is struggling on the Yamaha. Plus, the new rules work?
Current wind speeds in Phillip Island 15 m/s or 54 kmh. Officially a moderate gale, and forecast to get stronger over the next few hours. Hard to see it being safe for #MotoGP
They are riding at Phillip Island. Moto3 was fine, more crashes in Moto2. Weather seems to be getting a bit worse. Conditions not at all good for MotoGP.
Because of the threat of very strong winds, the #MotoGP schedule at Phillip Island has been changed. The 27-lap main MotoGP race will be held on Saturday instead of the sprint race, and the sprint race will be held on Sunday. All racing on Sunday subject to the winds making it safe enough to do so. Decisions to be made at short notice.
