JAKARTA – The Mandalika 2022 MotoGP race was delayed due to heavy rains that flushed the area. Rain handlers were also deployed to control the weather.
The action of the rain handler was caught on television cameras on a live broadcast. The handler can be seen walking in circles while beating bronze tools shaped like coconut shells.
What the handler did also made the MotoGP riders look entertained.
Yamaha RNF rider, Andrea Dovizioso, looks smiling watching it. Even the defending champion Fabio Quartararo was seen imitating the handler's actions while smiling.
Not long after, the hashtag #Pawang was immediately trending on Twitter. As of this writing, there have been at least 17,000 more tweets using the word "handler".
The rain made the race at Mandalika postponed indefinitely. Previously, the Asia Talent Cup, Moto3, and Moto2 races had been completed and were running without any problems.
Until now the rain is still pouring Mandalika. MotoGP via their Twitter account had posted directly in the circuit area which looked very dark.
This second series of MotoGP races is confirmed without Marc Marquez. The Repsol Honda rider had a terrible accident during the warm-up session which resulted in a concussion and made him absent.
