They really need to change the race date, that quality track is being wasted due to such low temps for the teams to race in

That would be difficult partly because of the WSBK race in February(?), but more importantly because The Oz GP has to be tied in with the Japanese and Malaysian rounds. To make all those later would mean extending the season almost into the northern winter and they wouldn't want to do that.

Now that Dorna have the rights to both WSBK and MotoGP they could probably do a swap. Unfortunately that wouldn't move the Malaysian race away from their wet season which extends from October to March.

For some reason unknown to me there is a loooong gap between the Aust SBK round and the next race. If they could do the swap then move the three fly aways back to late March early April they'd have a slightly better chance of a dry Malaysian GP but the weather at PI would be deteriorating.

Not easy is it?

Some great rides by Crutchlow, Vinales and Redding in FP3. Particularly Vinales and Redding.

ETA. Lorenzo and Rossi both seem to be being cagey and keeping their powder dry. Looked like Lorenzo was going out for his last run, saw Rossi was going out too and he delayed. Don't think he'll be giving him any tows in QP2 this time.

So where do you lot watch this online (not including the online motogp pass $$$$)

I'm watching a stream with the Moto3 qualifying about to start, but it's pretty grainy/low def.

Looks as though they have race coverage tomorrow too

Lorenzo is looking like a whinging bitch this year.

Pick you lip up fella, Rossi is two fucken rows behind and it doesn't look like you have a chance of keeping pace with Marquez anyway.

So why did Iannone get put in 2nd and Lorenzo in 3rd despite the exact same time (shown on screen)?

Alphabetical order?

Iannone 1.28.xxx(xxxxx...) faster?

**Drew** · 17th October 2015, 17:05

Wondered the same thing.
