For most of Saturday’s Australian MotoGP, Jorge Martin’s soft tyre gamble looked like a smart move that was set to slash Francesco Bagnaia’s title lead.
Marc Marquez was the only rider to risk the soft rear tyre at the Australian MotoGP last season and got within 0.186s of what would have been his only victory of the year.
Having already swapped the full-length MotoGP race with the Saturday Sprint, further schedule changes have now been announced for Sunday at the 2023 Australian Grand Prix.
