The hopes today and perhaps tomorrow stars of the JuniorGP championship, the anteroom of the MotoGP, usually have the chance to ride four days during each competition weekend. On Thursday, there are untimed free practices, followed by timed practices on Friday, qualifying on Saturday and races on Sunday.
Unfortunately, due to storm Ciaran, violent winds came the final which takes place this weekend in Cheste, near Valencia. After a few showers and as many risky driving attempts, the Thursday sessions had to be canceled in the hope of a calmer Saturday.
🚨 Taking into account the weather forecast for the next hours, we are forced to definitively cancel all the scheduled tests for today Thursday, November 2nd 🙅♂️🙅♀️#RoadToMotoGP🏁 pic.twitter.com/cit7drrmY9

This did not happen (the wind should only calm down on Sunday in this area) and on-track activities were very reduced before a new cancellation.
So, this Saturday we go straight to qualifying which is likely to be hectic to say the least…
