Matterley Basin Timetable (Updated) Storm Eunice hits MXGP of Great Britain
By Andrew Hill on 18th Feb 22
The Matterley Basin MXGP timetable has been given an update with weather conditions at the famous motocross circuit in Winchester not favourable.
Update: Matterley Basin postponed until February 26-27 due to severe weather.
Storm Eunice has brought strong winds to the area, with Amber warnings for wind today and Saturday, which means the Saturday programme has been scaled back considerably.
MXGP and MX2 qualifying has been cancelled for Saturday and there has been a change to the EMX events too.
Sunday's high profile races are currently unaffected with MXGP and MX2 motos all starting in the original slots; however, take note of the change to EMX and the switch back to last season's MXGP/MX2 Free/Time Practice as it replaces the quali sessions that had been planned for Saturday.
The organiser released a statement today that warned guests, riders, teams and press that they must stay away on Friday. "You are not allowed on site for your own safety," it said. "Please do not enter the site you will be turned away until the site is secure. This includes riders, teams, the press, and the public."
It's disappointing Matterley Basin won't see the full return to an MXGP two-day format, but organisers can't control the weather. The timetable revision can be seen below.
