Overview
- MotoGP Race Direction, which issued its findings Tuesday, said the grand prix was reduced from 31 to 23 laps minutes before the start due to a safety risk that the surface could keep breaking up.
- Investigators said a sinkhole on Saturday formed when an old, undocumented sewage line collapsed under the main straight, and the circuit patched the area so track action could resume.
- After Moto2 on Sunday, fresh asphalt near Turns 11–12 began shedding stones in the heat and under heavy use, and crews cleared loose aggregate as officials weighed whether the surface would hold.
- Several riders and teams said the late distance change reached some rows too late to switch tyres, and reports described riders being hit by debris flung up by rivals’ rear wheels.
- The FIM outlined a year-long homologation in which circuits propose the asphalt mix, while the Brazilian promoter said its works met FIM standards and promised repairs before a return it pegged for 2027.
