NOIDA, India, Sept 23 (Reuters) - The inaugural Indian Grand Prix race has been shortened by three laps after MotoGP riders asked for race distances to be adjusted due to hot and humid conditions during practice sessions, organisers said on Saturday. After Friday's two practice sessions, reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia said the conditions were "very demanding". "I thought Malaysia and Thailand were hot but here you feel like you're burning in some parts of the track." Ducati's Bagnaia will carry a 36-point lead over Pramac Racing's Jorge Martin in the 13th race of the year.

[1/5] MotoGP - Repsol Honda Team's Marc Marquez and CryptoDATA RNF MotoGP Team's Miguel Oliveira after crashing during the Portuguese Grand Prix - Algarve International Circuit, Portimao, Portugal - March 26, 2023 REUTERS/Marcelo Del Pozo/File PhotoApril 13 (Reuters) - The MotoGP's Court of Appeal has granted a stay of execution on a penalty imposed on Marc Marquez for the Spaniard's crash with Miguel Oliveira, MotoGP said on Thursday. Oliveira was in second place in the opening stages of the Portuguese MotoGP when six-times premier class champion Marquez locked up his Honda and barged straight into the RNF Racing rider as both crashed out of the race. The MotoGP's decision to carry forward the penalty was appealed by Honda. If the Court of Appeal is unable to reach a verdict before this month's Spanish MotoGP, Marquez will be eligible to compete in his home race if he has recovered from his hand injury.
