The entry of renowned Spanish riders, Marc Marquez and Joan Mir of Repsol Honda Team in India has been postponed due to Visa problems. Not only them, but several riders as well as team personnel who are to compete in the initiation of MotoGP round in India are still waiting for their visas.

Marquez and Mir were both scheduled to attend the promotional event near Delhi on Wednesday however it has already been cancelled.

Repsol Honda Team sources responds to PTI, "the riders are yet to reach India due to Visa issues. So there was no option but to cancel tomorrow's event".

According to Fair-street Sports, the event's local promoter, a total of about 1800 visas were needed for staff in the parrock but unfortunately due to a technical mishap in the application procedure it was delayed. As per sources, including Marquez's most visas has already been presented as of Tuesday, except for only a handful.

A source reassures that majority of the team officials and riders have already reached India. 

Since the now-inoperative Formula One Indian Grand Prix, 

India is finally hosting a high scale event such as this. Dorna Sports, the event's promoter and right's holder alongside Fairstreet have created a seven-year memo of understanding for the race in India, but only the weekend will tell how the event's future plays out.

Earlier this year India received it's first FIA World Championship status in ten years. It was when the Formula E race was conducted in Hyderabad. However after failing to secure a spot on the provisional calender for 2024 it's highly unlikely that the championship will come back. The disrupted preparations by the local organizers displeased Formula E.
