What happened during the SuperSport300 qualifying session is truly unbelievable. In fact, four minutes after the start of the session, the FIM stopped the session by showing the red flag. No accidents or poor track conditions.

The reason was the slipstreams and 'trains of riders' that came to form between the drivers. Therefore, the FIM halted the session and summoned all the riders to the pitlane to redress them. After an eight-minute consultation, the round then restarted.

Who knows if this episode will serve as a lesson or not.
