(Update: FP2 confirmed as the cutoff for direct Qualifying 2 access, for all three classes).After Sunday’s race, MotoGP heads straight to Texas for next weekend’s round at COTA, ruling out a delayed Monday race in Argentina.Related Pol: ‘Certain people you cannot blame’, Alex: Tyre change ‘cannot happen again’ Front ride-height ban ‘unfair’, ‘cannot pick and choose’Mechanics set for ‘hard’ weekend; Bastianini says ‘I have nothing’All Friday practice cancelled at the Argentina MotoGPWorking window ‘really small’ for Yamaha says Fabio QuartararoArgentina MotoGP freight problems explainedDelays in transporting freight from the previous round in Indonesia on March 20 to the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit this weekend means some teams – including Gresini Ducati’s world championship leader Enea Bastianini – werestill without their bikes and essential equipment.It had been hoped that the delayed freight would arrive on Thursday and, following a night shift, all teams would be ready for Friday morning’s FP1 session.But a further flight problem meant the entire Friday schedule, including Moto2 and Moto3, was scrapped and the first Argentine round since 2019 will be compressed into Saturday and Sunday.Related All Friday practice cancelled at the Argentina Moto Ukraine a factor in MotoGP freight delay, ‘wait and see’ for SaturdayWould a two-day MotoGP weekend be better?3035616.0008.jpg Fabio Quartararo said: “At the end, it’s always the same; if your bike is working straight away then you can even have just one day. At the moment, as soon as you have a little bit of difficulty then you have Friday evening and the morning to think about it.“It’s difficult to say, but it will be a great experience to have two days because if we have many more GP’s then it will be much more difficult (to have full weekends). “From my point of view, I like to be moving around but it’s more for the mechanics and the families. But it will be a great experience to have just two days.””4Johann Zarco disagreed: “If you have experience then you can enjoy just two days. As Fabio [Quartararo] says, if you have the bike ready and you have all your references on the track, you can have maybe more advantage to have a great race. “But to work and progress as a rider, but also work technically with the bike, it’s always better three days. “If in the future it is two days then clearly they save money. It’s one night less in the hotels. But I think it’s not really good for the sport, yes, better for the show, but not for the sport.””5Miguel Oliveira said: “I don’t know! I mean, I’ve never heard that suggestion in the past. “I’ve never really thought about it. It will be a unique experience and hopefully we can get more ideas on whether that makes sense. But technically, for us to have three days is much better than two.”
