For as long as Rossi has a competative bike he will fight Stoner to the end. Stoner will prob fall off with the pressure or fuck off into the distance. The ducati is so fast its unreal. Carbon chassis and swinging arm this year

No Randy this year. When they found out Eurosport were losing coverage he made alternative plans. Sadly they couldn't be altered when Brit Eurosport won the rights to show (delayed by 1 hour) MotoGp this year very late on.

To be fair Toby and Jules (with their supporting cast or Dr Martin Raines, Neil Spalding, virtually every British racer who turns up to the commentary box. Oh and Rossi who commentated with them on a 125 race last year ) can carry the broadcast easily. Randy's presence simply elevated them beyond 100% imo.

From motogp.com

After the season-opening Commercialbank Grand Prix of Qatar was interrupted by rain on Sunday evening the MotoGP race had to be postponed and will now be run on Monday evening at 9pm local time, with an additional warm-up session beforehand at 6.30pm.

9pm local time is 6pm gmt

So if what your saying is right then bbc are not showing it live.

There is a misunderstanding some where. motogp.com is starting before the bbc.

I see now as according to there local time they are +2 hours where as on the motogp site it states its +3 hours which is obviously wrong. So i applogise as you are correct i was missleaded from there information.

Obviously wrong?!

it states GMT - GREENWICH MEAN TIME. We are now in BST - British Summer Time which is GMT+1.

Race is 21 00 local time and they are GMT+3 ie race start 19 00 BST!

First race fo the season always was gona be iffy, the teams are still finding their feet. Glad to see colin doing well, gutted about toseland, capirossi and melandri but good to see pedrosa doing shit, twat stoner still doing the one man show...but same as the past 2 seasons at Qatar.

Motegi should be good.........thank god motorsport is back.

Jesus wept.

Was me taking the piss out of one person above and then spelling it out like a simpleton not enough??

I already explained nicely that BST was GMT+1, that the race was 19 00 our time last night and even which channels to find it


Anyway a bit one sided that race. What about dovi hitting pedrosa never saw later whether he got penalised?
