Conditions took a turn at the start of the earlier Moto2 race, which was forced to be delayed as the field switched from slick tyres to wets.
Shortened from 24 laps to 16, the Moto2 race didn’t get to the 2/3 cut-off distance to declare a result when heavy rain lashed the circuit.
A five-lap sprint was due to finish the Moto2 contest, but had to be abandoned when the rain intensified on the sighting lap to the grid.
A result was declared and half points awarded, with Marc VDS rider Tony Arbolino securing a maiden win in the Moto2 class.
With a result declared around half an hour before the MotoGP race was due to start and no easing of the rain, a further delayed has been called.
At present, there is no time scheduled for when pitlane will open.
