Been avoiding this thread like the plague (and most news and tv) as i was at a wedding and couldn't get to a tv

Then 5 minutes ago my dad said he recorded it but there is no point watching as it was rained off *sigh*

Although yay, it's on tonight at 7pm, they are racing at 9pm Qatar local time. They are UTC +3, and we are currently UTC +1 so yer, they are 2 hours ahead of us atm.

this is all the bbc are saying really atm

When you are on bbc1 push the red button then go on whatever multiscreen options they have, then pick motogp

FrostedNipple · 13 Apr 2009 at 13:58

as far as i'm aware they have the motogp at 1845BST on the bbc red button and sport website only, and eurosport has been pushed back to 2300BST

Yup, will be interesting to see what the scrutinizers (lol) say about that incident.

Shame for rossi, but the tyres just couldn't get him up to casey without risk of crashing. Championship is by no means over for him though!
