Bit of confusion as to when the race actually is.

Why are Eurosport showing everything apart from the actual race, it got me a bit confused but after searching on other forums have found out it's live tonight at 8.45pm.

Enjoy :freebird

Why the fook is it on at such a silly time :confused

So you'd be prepared to race at 200mph with zero visibility?

Just back from the track.

Fcuk me, i have not seen rain like that in years, never mind in a Desert climate.
The roads back into Doha were 4" deep in water, and driving was a bit 'exciting' shall we say, with these idiots, who drive in the rain, with sidelights on, hazzards on, and no wipers.

As for the 125 race not being re-started, the reason is Dunlop had no wet weather tyres with them.

It was announced that they might run the Moto Gp race tomorrow, but would be suprised as people and teams will have logistic flights booked.

Im checking in, in 2 hours time, so hopefully the rain stops by then, or will turn up a check in like a droont rat.

Rain now stopped, 2 hours after the race was due to start.

Have to say the Ducati's were loud as fook, lot louder than the rest of the bikes.

Aye, looked a bit soggy like! Amazing how quickly it started. Couldn't be done with driving in that with some of the drivers there like!

I see it's the same with F1, the drivers are going to protest to Bernie and S&M-osley, because the start times meant it was too dark/sun was too low near the end of the race and they were worried about goin into a wall at 200... or each other! Scarey thoughts!

I am a bit pi55ed off that the coverage of the MotoGP has gone exclusivley to the Beeb, as I enjoyed listening to Julian ranting on Eurosport(although the adverts were a tad annoying) and I only turned it over to the BBC when the said adverts were on. In fairness to the Beeb however, they had a hard job to do, with no racing on offer and they had to fill their slot on the telly. Hopefully they do a good job and dont make it a pain to watch like the F1.
