As many as 17 Argentina 2022 MotoGP teams have not received cargo until the start of the first free practice (FP1), Saturday (2/4), including the Lenovo Ducati team, Mooney VR46, Gresini Racing, Monster Yamaha, WithU RNF Yamaha, Tech3 KTM, and Suzuki.

The delay in the MotoGP cargo was caused because one of the planes had problems in Mombasa. The plane that had problems in Mombasa, Kenya, was originally scheduled to return to Lombok to pick up the remaining cargo.

Dorna then decided to send one of the planes that had arrived in Argentina to pick up the remaining cargo in Lombok. But again the plane had problems upon arrival in Mombasa.

Dorna’s CEO, Carmelo Ezpeleta, said the Russia-Ukraine war had an effect. The reason is that 20 percent of cargo aircraft companies from Russia are subject to sanctions.


Dorna then decided to wait until their chartered plane was repaired in Mombasa.
