I think around 9.00 tonight, but it's not on Prime untill late tomorrow night.
Bit of a bummer, but at least they're showing it!!!
Working in the bike industry, it's gonna make it hard to not hear the result till then though......I'll spew if some clown tells me what happens....
check out final qualifiying......a huge psychological blow to Hayden I'd say.....and what about Bayliss??

It's gonna be fireworks for sure......BRING IT ON!!!

check out final qualifiying......

At Phillip Island it was something of a revelation to me just how exciting qualifying is. I missed some of it sitting in the grandstand for the first session but after hearing people talking about it, I watched the final qualifying session on a big screen TV in the Marquee. Rossi was in big time trouble and it was really touch and go. Real dge of the seat stuff.

Final race is actually about 2am tonight... It would be great if Prime did it live at 2am but I suppose they have to pay extra to broadcast it live or something.....

It's actually at 1am. So was the qualifying.

Since I joined motoGP.com I religously watch the qualifying, always tends to be exciting. Rossi (and team) is certainly one of the masters of the qualifying game. Often pulling out a blistering lap in the final run.

You might find that Spain is 11hrs behind us WITHOUT daylight savings.
I believe the race is 1400hrs their time.....I think (and may well be wrong once more!)....that that makes it 2.00am our time.
