On the eve of the Free Practice, there were comforting opinions from the entire grid, both on the layout of the track and on the safety of the facility. Aleix Espargaro: “They did their best”
On the eve of the Indian GP, making their debut in the MotoGP, the riders immediately dispelled the doubts about the Buddh Circuit, raised above all for safety reasons. On the first approach, mainly on foot, the promotion arrived, together with the expected approval. Almost everyone says it, starting with Aleix Espargaroa bit of a ‘unionist’ of the group: “They did their best, perhaps the escape route at the end of the straight isn’t too wide, but the structure is nice and safe.”

Also Pol Espargaro expresses a flattering opinion: “The first impression is very good, the safety is better than expected: now there are no problems, but perhaps a little more margin would be needed in some places. The track is fun, with fast and slow corners and changes in gradients.” Satisfied too Brad Binder: “So far so good, the track is interesting and the facilities are top quality: it will be fun to race here and I think we can adapt well with the Ktm.”

Marco Bezzecchi he was impressed by the starting straight: “Impressive, then everything here is well organised: the pit lane is beautiful and the track looks fantastic, with the parabolic one which is incredible”. However, Bez is still not at his best: “I still have pain in my wrist, after Misano I haven’t recovered as well as I can yet, I have a hematoma that is slowly being absorbed, but I’ll do everything to stay in front”. One aspect of the climate is underlined by Raul Fernandez: “The track so far is a pleasant surprise, but the temperatures on the track will have to be evaluated because it is really very hot.”

This is the analysis of Marquez brothers: Like this Alex: “The Buddh Circuit is better than we could have expected with the very spectacular banked Turn 8: you will need a smooth ride and there isn’t much braking. After the first Free Practice we could talk among ourselves as drivers to understand what to improve.” Here you are Marc: “The track looks like a lot of fun, even if it needs to be checked on the bike, especially for grip and in case of rain. My future? Nothing new: I have the same position as a month ago, I haven’t changed my mind.” Who her future has clarified is Franco Morbidelliwho will move from Yamaha to Ducati Pramac in 2024: “I am very happy with this opportunity: after two very difficult years, a good opportunity awaits me. I thank Paolo Campinoti, Pramac, Ducati and VR46 who worked to allow me to have this chance.”
