    I'm picking Rossi, WhoreGay then Thumbelina. Collins will be up there again, and Hayden might stick his nose in. And Stoner... depends if he can get through puberty in time for the race and get some testosterone going for a good fight.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    It would be great if some of these events hit on a Friday or Saturday night & make them part of a big night on the piss! Ah well... I'm really looking forward to the GP

    Unfortunately friday is practice, saturday morning is practice and saturday arvo is qualifying followed by racing on Sunday. Thats how its always been.

    Being at the 'start' of the world in terms of time we almost always get the coverage late on Sunday or sometime on Monday.

    If you want it to be at a decent time of day then pay for tickets and go watch it in person!

    It is unfortunate, and if I was a rich man I would follow them round the globe...

    On a good note, I rarely work Mondays, so maybe I should just put more emphasis on Sunday night drinking? (I've usually redlined Fri & Sat, neededing to damage control Sun though...)

    Dunno if anyone else without sky has thought about it but MOTOGP.COM stream the race live.

    If it's in the southern hemisphere the races are usually on early enough that you don't have to stay up till 3 am to watch. I usually just pay the 7 euro option that lets you see the qualifying session the warm up and the race. not a bad option in my opinion. Beats paying for sky.

    Just an idea

    PS: I'm trying to feel sympathy for people who don't have Sky or Saturn, really I am, but with little success so far.
    The first SBK race is live at 6.30am on sky sport 3
    The second SBK race is live at 10.00am on sky sport 2
    I usually tape the races too, was highly pissssst at sky when they switched channels half way through the 600 super sport race and ended up with a bloody soccer match instead.
