I doubt they can get the track fixed, floodwater is toxic and Imola got hit hard. The whole region situation is really serious, this is from a local paper I subscribe to:
Some 3,000 people had been evacuated from their homes in Bologna, while the mayor of Ravenna said some 5,000 people were being evacuated as a precaution.
All rivers in the region had broken their banks between Tuesday and Wednesday, with 36 local authorities reported flooding and 48 reporting landslides.
………….
My friends there have been sending me videos and one of them was a guy on a bicycle riding thru what was likely a road but looked like a river and a big fish was swimming by him.
They got half a years rainfall in a day and the rain is predicted to come daily thru May 31.
So far Ducati is dry and so is most of the Bologna city center. Bologna is built over a river so this could change quickly.

It seems they’ve cancelled the race altogether. I was surprised, because the forecast moving forward to and through the weekend doesn’t seem all that bad. I guess what already came down has caused enough concern for them to take this step.

They are apparently under some sort of severe weather warning that included mudslides, floods, winds and rain.
