When is Luke racing?

[xr-rider]

does anyone know when luke is racing and if it is going to be on tv?

Wouldnt it be nice if NZ TV recognised a young man such as Luke having the opportunity such as this.

BUT ... oh no Gordon Ramsey on Prime Time on a Saturday Night is way more important.

weekend of 8th

when will he find out if he has been selected...? I wonder if they do any live timing or streaming vids on the net?

Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup 2009 final selection is 7, 8 Nov.
There are no 'races' as such, just tests and trials of one kind or another.
But I do believe that there is a 'race' at the end of day two for the riders who remain in the selection.

My guess is that if he is not invited to day two then one can assume he will not be selected for further participation.

I do not think that there is any coverage, but if you visit:
www.redbullrookiescup.com there might be something.

Riders will know if they have been successful sometime later in Nov. probably, or early Dec.

If the weather continues the way it is over there at the moment, Luke might just be at an advantage as he has been able to go very nicely in the rain.

Hopefully also, damp and cold conditions might put off a few of the European riders.
