Jerez postpones a race but MotoGP not at-risk

Torrential rain in the area of Spai🍒n brought back worrying memories of the situation in Valencia la🧜st year, which caused the MotoGP season-finale to be moved to Barcelona.

However, despite the problems a🍬t the Jerez track caused by the weather, there is not expected to be any postponement of next month’s MotoGP round.

The Spanish Superbike Championship’s openܫing round is not the only event at the Jerez circuit to be postponed, but it is the most high-profile.

This flo🥀oded parts of the track and caused structural damage to ot🔯her areas.

Turns 7, 8🐼 and 11 are overrun by muജd, water and gravel. The asphalt was damaged at Turn 13 (named after Jorge Lorenzo).

The mayor of Jerez, María José García-Pelayo, said: "We know 🌠that in certain corners there has been damage to the asphalt, but not to the track.

“What we have been able to verify a🌳re defects in the outer ar🐓ea of the curves, as well as inside some buildings.

"ಌAction is being taken as quickly as possibleℱ in the circuit and in the different rural neighborhoods and in Nuevas Jarilla.

“A major cleaning has t🧸o be done because, once the water has been removed, a lot of mud has remained."

He added about🎀 next month’s MotoGP round: "For the peace of mind of the fans, the Jerez Circuit guarantees that these works that are being undertaken guarantee that the Spanish Grand Prix will be held as scheduled.

"The Circuito de Jerez-Ángel Nieto has already put all the human and materia♌l resources at its disposal to resume the activity as soo൩n as possible.”
