In spite of the impending possibility of heavy rainfall from Typhoon Talas, MotoGP teams have decided to move forward with qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix according to the original schedule.
According to Motorsport.com, teams met early on Saturday morning in Motegi to determine whether qualifying should be moved up due to the bad weather forecast at the Tochigi Prefecture site.
In the end, it was determined that Q1 will still begin as scheduled at 3.05 p.m. local time (GMT +9), with Q2 to follow at 3.30 p.m.
The other would have been to schedule the two grid-setting sessions for earlier in the day, before Typhoon Talas’ heaviest rain, which is anticipated to affect the racetrack on Saturday as it moves through Japan’s Kanto area, would have arrived.
MotoGP has 2 alternatives to think about that have recently been used in the event that the rainfall is too intense for qualifying to continue safely at the scheduled time.
As was the case for the 2019 Australian GP at Phillip Island when strong winds made holding qualifying on Saturday difficult, qualifying could be moved to Sunday morning before the race itself, which is scheduled to start at 3pm local time.

The grid might also be determined by the times from Friday’s sole practise session, which was performed in dry weather as opposed to FP2 on Saturday morning. In this case, Ducati racer Jack Miller would begin from the pole position.
At Honda’s home track, championship contenders Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia), Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati), and Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) would start second, third, and fourth, respectively, with Marc Marquez beginning sixth.
