It's live cricket before the WSBK slot, so I expect it to slip further...

Don't think so as the Cricket runs to a TIGHT schedule - as it feeds to other countries, including India. So play will finish at 10pm.

No sky, but keen to watch - anyone know anything available on the interweb?

Spies on pole again, on a track that friday was his first time riding, nice to se baggi in 3rd again

How did the triumphs do

**White trash** · 14th March 2009, 06:41

Very good to see Spies at the top of the sheets again.

I'm loving that Shakey Byrne holds 8th on the grid, despite setting the 19th fastest time. Funny rules this year.

I'm predicting another couple of wins for the Yamaha man, Suzuki management to simultaneously break their legs trying to kick their own arses for not giving him a decent contract to sign, Haga to barge through to second, Biaggi to start well, then fade badly.
