Heavy rain made big problems at MotoGP in Brazil and practice could not start on time. The track was very wet and workers needed more time to clean it, so everything was delayed.

Because of this, organisers changed the whole Friday schedule and made new times. The sessions were also shorter than planned.

Moto3 first practice now starts at 14:00. Moto2 comes after that from 15:00 to 15:50. Then MotoGP first practice runs from 16:05 to 17:05.

In the evening there are more sessions with new times. Moto3 rides again from 18:15 to 18:50. Moto2 goes from 19:05 to 19:55. The main MotoGP practice is now from 20:00 to 21:00.

All these times are later than original plan because of the rain. The long session that MotoGP should have had was also shortened, so riders now have less time on track.

People had to wait until conditions were safe, and only then the new schedule could start. If rain comes again, more changes can still happen.
