    PIcking it all up in nice quality. Stoked with Sommet.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    So much for a full replay. We got a partial replay then a whole buch of time of people hugging each other and paying with their arses.

    Arse.

    Watched the full race last night at about 8:30 I think.

    I hope they get some advertisers soon otherwise all those people complaining are gonna be complaining they're getting nothing again I do believe quality of picture will have a little to do with the feed that gets sent as well.

    As for satellite vs UHF. Yip no room for anyone on satellite, that's the biggest problem with it. UHF has room for about 40 channels if I can remember a conversation I had with a Freeview guy a few years back (may have been Sam Irvine). I can't remember if they can open up more or not. I think they need another satellite to get more stations on that.

    The replay was scheduled for 8 last night, I flicked the tv over at 5 to 8 and had already missed the first 10 laps including "that" pass which was a bit disappointing but atleast I got to see the rest of the race and not just the highlights.

    Ah, I thought there was something up with the guide. I managed to get the slow motion reply of it purely by chance. Bloody hairy and even a little dodgy in my book. Would have be real interesting to see it at full speed.

    I was thinking, technically he cut a corner. Usual racing rules are if you gain a position by cutting a corner you need to give up the position or be relegated 1 place?

    He was in front before he left the track, it could be argued that the tarmac out there means it's still track, and if Rossi hadn't forced him out there, he would have made it round.

    This is exactly what I was thinking. All other racing this would be the case. I saw this photo as well which is VERY interesting.

    As someone said, out Rossi'd Rossi. Looks like he had every intention of using that "line". I suppose it comes down to where the track starts and finishes. I always thought the white lines are the track boundary apart from painted curbing. I assume it's very much an unknown because of the grate. Bloody big go nads to do it though.
