Could be a wet race.....which could be problematic under the lights. Race director recently took a spin in the rain at night in a car and gave a provisional ok.

620 is carrying qualifying tomorrow afternoon.

After FP3 Vinales is still at top of time sheet, but some of the aliens are way down the list and Lorenzo did not automatically qualify. Rossi qualified by the skin of his teeth. SOme new names near the top.

Dumb question what's a fp ? I watch moto gp but that escapes me

 

[the Ferret]

Free practice 1

To put it simply, they get 3 "free practices" to work on bike set up, ( FP1, FP2 and FP3)then qualifying for grid position ( shown tomorrow) then pre race practice which is short the morning of the race, a warm up lap. then the race. ( shown Sunday)

 

[Obleo]

Good to know thanks

I'm fairly new to MotoGP but rider and set up must mean a lot more than the machine. Yamaha: Vinales 1st - Rossi 10th; Suzuki: Iannone 2nd - Rins 18th

MotoGP.com is contradicting itself. The front page article on the starting grid is completely different than their starting grid posted elsewhere. Organized as ever. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

 

[the Ferret]

Well if eveything goes as planned we should see at 1:55 tomorrow

 

[use2b_imp]

Valentino's helmets are way cool but i always go with Honda

 

[redbirds_imp]

MotoGP.com is contradicting itself. The front page article on the starting grid is completely different than their starting grid posted elsewhere. Organized as ever. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Their web site (Motogp) is quite confusing. The starting grid is on page one with Rossi starting tenth. The "grid" on the second page is results of free practice 3.

 

[Cormanus]

I remain confused. But what's unusual about that?

An 0500 start to see the race.

 

[736cc_imp]

Anybody know what time the it is rescheduled on broadcast FOX tv, or is it staying with 2pm EST?

 

[CB4ME_imp]

Anybody know what time the it is rescheduled on broadcast FOX tv, or is it staying with 2pm EST?

DirecTV is still showing MotoGp from 10:55am to 3pm, Moto3 at 7pm, Moto2 at 8pm and a repeat of MotoGP at 9pm - all times Eastern.

beIn Sports (channel 620) has the programming.

 

[the Ferret]

I dont know what 0500 is, but it is a night race and the big boys start at 9 PM local time unless that has been changed. I just checked the tv schedule and it appears coverage is still scheduled from 10:55 ( EST) with Moto2 running first, Moto 3 running second and MotoGP running third.

I didn't know it was on Fox. Only BEin sports has the contract to broadcast the MotoGP races
