The Indianapolis round of the 250cc series has been cancelled due to the poor weather conditions at the American track.

The race had already been postponed three hours from its originally scheduled start as a downpour had hit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the 250cc runners lined up on the grid.

The officials had hoped to run the 250cc race after the MotoGP event, but when that had to be red-flagged eight laps from the end due to the worsening wind and rain, the decision was taken to abandon the 250cc round as well.

Championship leader Marco Simoncelli had qualified on pole before the race was cancelled.
