JAKARTA - A number of MotoGP racers have arrived in Jakarta before they will carry out the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP racing agenda series on March 18-20.

The presence of the racers in Jakarta was none other than a meeting with President Joko Widodo at the State Palace on Wednesday morning. Not only that, the agenda will also be continued with a convoy of riders around the HI Roundabout.

Based on the information, the route of this convoy will start from the State Palace after being released directly by President Jokowi, then continue to the Hotel Indonesia (HI) roundabout and will end at the starting point, namely the State Palace.

At the convoy, the racers themselves are scheduled to start leaving the Palace at around 10.00 a.m.

Based on the observations of VOI team at the HI Roundabout point, one hour before the convoy's agenda, the location conditions were still conducive. Traffic goes on as usual without any blocking or restrictions on vehicles.

A number of local residents and road users also seemed to gather at a number of points to wait for the group of MotoGP riders.

They are busy waiting around the pedestrians while holding their cellphones ready to capture the moment in case their favorite racer passes by

However, from the team's observation, there was also no visible form of greeting around the HI Roundabout such as banners or welcome greetings.

There are only police personnel standing guard on the side of the road to regulate traffic. Based on information, there are about 300 police personnel standing guard along the route of the convoy.

Dirlantas Metro Jaya Police, Commissioner Sambodo Purnomo Yugo said the traffic scheme itself will be closed later. However, it is only temporary when the group crosses the specified road.

Furthermore, Sambodo said that road closures would only be carried out when the MotoGP parade entourage passed.

"The closure will only be carried out when the group is passing, and that's only in the direction of the group. For those in the opposite direction, we don't carry out the closure, we will carry out the closure to a minimum so it won't cause too much traffic jam on Jalan Thamrin," he said when met at the location.

In this convoy there will be riders with names that are already familiar to MotoGP fans. They are Marc Marquez, Joan Mir, Alex Rins, Francesco Bagnaia, Jack Miller, Maverick Vinales, Alex Marquez, and Takaaki Nakagami.
