[kropotkin thinks...] - Motegi, 2013: Typhoon Francisco Set To Disrupt Practice At Mo
If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.
----------------- After the eventful Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island, the MotoGP paddock heads to Japan, hoping for a slightly quieter weekend. It looks like they may well get their wish, thanks to the weather predicted for the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi. Typhoon Francisco, an intense tropical depression, is set to hit the Islands of Japan this weekend, blowing through on Friday night and departing by Saturday afternoon. With Francisco forecast to dump large quantities of rain in the region around Motegi, free practice could well be a washout, with the rain only letting up on Saturday afternoon. Fortunately for MotoGP, Typhoon Francisco is rapidly losing strength. It had quickly grown to be a category 3 typhoon, increasing last Sunday to category 5 , the most powerful category of storm. It is now diminishing in intensity as it approaches the southern coast of Japan, and has reduced to category 1. Francisco is expected to produce strongs winds and a lot of rainfall, but it will not be as bad as initially feared.
