Ducati boss backs Australia MotoGP cancellation despite impact on title battle

Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi has defended the decision to call off the Australian MotoGP event. Although track conditions were deemed acceptable for riding, the inability to safely operate medical helicopters necessitated the cancellation.

Marc Marquez, who currently leads the championship standings, missed a chance to extend his advantage over Jorge Martin, who was sidelined due to a wrist injury sustained during the Sprint race. Tardozzi acknowledged the missed opportunity but emphasized that prioritizing rider safety was the correct choice.

He remains focused on the upcoming round in Malaysia, noting that Ducati continues to perform well despite the competitive challenges posed by rival manufacturers.
