The last practice session on Saturday morning will continue to be an extended duration of 40 minutes, as opposed to the standard 30 minutes.

An updated timetable for the Australian MotoGP has been unveiled after the first free practice session at Phillip Island was called off.

Intense rainfall led to a nearly two-hour postponement of the initial practice session, which was ultimately cancelled.

The downpour was relentless, and instead of being absorbed, water pooled on the newly laid track surface. This situation heightened the danger of hydroplaning along the high-speed coastal raceway.

The updated timetable extends the duration of the Friday afternoon Practice, which also serves as the selection process for the top ten riders gaining direct entry into Qualifying 2, from its standard one hour to an hour and 20 minutes.

The meeting is scheduled to commence at the designated hour of 3:00 PM, according to the local time zone.

The last free practice session on Saturday morning will now last longer, increasing from 30 to 40 minutes, and will commence at 10:00.

Weather on Phillip Island has thankfully gotten better after the rain earlier today, however, there's still a chance for more rainfall as the day progresses.

Saturday is expected to be less humid but breezy, with the finest conditions arriving on Sunday.
