MotoGP riders have criticized the track surface at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, describing the tarmac as completely "destroyed" and comparing it to a motocross track. The complaints emerged ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix weekend, with multiple riders expressing safety concerns about the deteriorating asphalt conditions.
According to reports from the paddock, the circuit's surface has degraded significantly, creating uneven patches and reduced grip that could affect racing performance and rider safety. The Sepang circuit, which has hosted MotoGP since 1999, last underwent a full resurfacing in 2016.
Race organizers and circuit management have not yet issued an official response to the riders' concerns. The Malaysian Grand Prix is scheduled to proceed as planned, though track conditions will be closely monitored during practice sessions.
