The Jerez circuit was hit by a heavy storm earlier this week, inflicting main flooding on the observe. However we had been reassured by the officers working the Jerez circuit that the MotoGP race will go forward as deliberate on April twenty fifth, in reality, they assured it.
An announcement posted on Instagram learn, “Regardless of the damages suffered after yesterday’s storm, the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto ensures the celebration of the Spanish MotoGP Grand Prix… After the passage of an intense storm yesterday afternoon that brought about quite a few incidents within the rural space close to the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto, in addition to within the circuit itself, work has begun in the present day on the preparation of the services to renew the exercise as quickly as doable.”

As extra footage of the state of affairs in Jerez comes out, we’re left questioning what state the services and observe shall be in by April twenty fifth.
