MotoGP starts this weekend!!!!

Newportnobby · April 06, 2013, 03:14:37 PM

First race from Losail, Qatar this weekend.
On the red button:-

Qualifying MotoGP Saturday 17.30 - 19.30
Qualifying Moto2/3 Saturday 19.30 - 21.00

Moto 2/3 races Sunday 16.45 - 19.30
MotoGP race Sunday 19.30 - 21.00

However, the red button viewing times are notoriously unreliable

This year, qualifying is in the same format as Formula 1 i.e. knockout based on timed sessions

Well done Mick,I was gonna start a thread on this but as O have the dreaded Sky+HD,I could only tell what the Eurosport schedules are broadcasting.

Anyway,come on Cal Crutchlow.

Also,BSB starts again tomorrow,first round is from Brands Hatch,again on Eurosport and on ITV4 later on in the week I think.

It's seems to have been a long wait this time,lots of new faces.

Dovizioso is showing well on the Ducati and it makes me wonder why Rossi with all his talent couldn't get to grips with it,perhaps the Ducati is better suited to the Quatar track.
Anyway I'm glad Rossi is back with Yamaha and I'm really looking forward to see how Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith get on this year,Cal certainly deserves a works ride.
Marquez will get better and better I think,possibly another Rossi in the making.

Roll on tomorrow.

I love the new qualifying process, great fun with lots of excitement. It has been a VERY long winter waiting for the new season especially after all the news about Rossi etc.
Am now really looking forward to the race tomorrow
As has been mentioned already - COME ON CAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant wait. Been watching practice and the knock out session on the red button.
Cal is doing great .

Yamaha 1-2

The Doctor is back in the house

Our lads did themselves proud too. Very well done to Scott Redding and Cal

I was worried Rossi was going to be past his best but I think if Pedrosa hadnt stopped on the apex of turn one and sent rossi wide early on he really could have troubled Lorenzo!

Jolly exciting to say the least!

Blackbird1137 · April 09, 2013, 07:50:16 PM

Really thought Scotty was gonna beat Espagaro, and if Cal had kept it on the island I reckon he could have followed Rossi and beaten Pedrobot.
