BAGNAIA SAYS RIDERS WEREN’T CONSULTED BEFORE AUSTRALIAN GP CANCELLATION

Francesco Bagnaia said MotoGP riders were not consulted before Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island was cancelled. After several delays, adverse weather prevented the event from going ahead. Bagnaia said riders had to respect the decision because safety was at stake, though the cancellation meant the iconic circuit could not give MotoGP a proper racing farewell.
