Results from the special 'wet' Saturday afternoon session added to the Indian MotoGP schedule at the Buddh International Circuit, round 13 of 20 in the 2023 world championship.
With practice and qualifying held in the dry, just before an afternoon downpour, a special 15-minute session was added to allow MotoGP riders to prepare for wet conditions in the Sprint race...
...But by the time the session took place, the track was dry enough for slicks, with only scattered damp patches remaining. Nonetheless, all riders started on medium wets, front and rear, before most switched to slicks to test the latest grip levels on dry rubber for the final minutes. The fastest lap time was 1m 49.017s by front-row starter Jorge Martin, which was five seconds behind Marco Bezzecchi's morning pole time. Johann Zarco completed a Pramac Ducati one-two.
The 11-lap Sprint race will start in just under half an hour. The start of the Sprint has been delayed by a further ten minutes to allow the track to dry further.
