Poor campers
Land under at the Ring! Thunderstorms hit biker fans
The weather gods at least waited until the first major highlight at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, the MotoGP sprint race, was over - but then the heavens briefly opened all the floodgates. And it particularly affected the thousands on the campsites.
A heavy hailstorm over Spielberg in the early evening hours quickly flooded the area around Austria's race track. While hundreds of journalists were well protected on the top floor of the Welcome Center - there was only a small leak in the roof - the organizers from Projekt Spielberg opened the start-finish grandstand without further ado so that those seeking shelter from the hail could escape. However, this did not apply to the many thousands of motorcycle fans at the campsites. On the one hand, they had a lot to do there, but many took the wet surprise with humor. As you can see in our pictures.
The organizers have since reported that no further storms are expected in the coming hours. However, no one can say for sure whether it won't "roll over" again during the night.
