Forecast rain may affect race start time

The forecast of torrential rain storms could affect the starting time of the inaugural Indianapolis MotoGP tomorrow.

All riders and race officials agreed last night, during the Safety Commission meeting, that if conditions were as bad as they were yesterday during the first day of practice, then all races may not even take place.

The storms are forecast to be arriving in the Indianapolis area in the afternoon, around the time of the MotoGP race which is scheduled at 3pm local time.

Should officials see that the worst of the weather will arrive during the third and final race of the day, the MotoGP race, then that race may well be brought forward to try and avoid such downpours.

In the meantime, today has been dry but extremely humid.
