No Friday MotoGP action in Argentina due to transport drama
Rennie Scaysbrook | March 31, 2022
There will be no on-track action on Friday at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit for the 2022 Argentine MotoGP after logistical issues saw a number of cargo planes grounded with technical problems.
Five cargo flights were scheduled to ship paddock material from Lombok, Indonesia, to Tucuman, close to Termas de Rio Hondo in Argentina, in the week following the Indonesian GP.
Due to two separate issues affecting two different flights, the final freight for the Argentina GP will now arrive in the country tomorrow (Friday). The flight contains freight for all classes of the MotoGP World Championship, with changes to the time schedule therefore obliged for all classes.
Free Practice sessions will now begin and take place for all classes on Saturday morning. Of the sessions that normally take place on Friday, only one has been canceled, with the other moved to Saturday. Qualifying will take place on Saturday afternoon, with a slightly later start time.
Warm-Up sessions on Sunday morning have been extended, with each race set to begin at the same start time as originally scheduled.
Below is the Saturday schedule for the 2022 Argentine MotoGP.
