Interesting:

Chris Vermeulen:
“We still have a lot to do at this test as we are still looking for the best set-up for this year’s bike. We didn’t get as much dry track time as we wanted at the last test in Jerez so we need two good days at Qatar to get the best out of the bike. It is a very exciting thing to be riding the bike at night, but that will also present us with some extra problems that we will need to overcome as well, like where to put the lights on the bike and managing to stay awake!”

Presume he's joking though!

It'll be okay, when Rossi's in the lead the rest will be able to see clearly by the light shining out of his arse.

Welcome back Goatboy - where have you been over the off-season?
 
I intended to be off for good, but I'm really ill & in a ...... mood. So I thought to myself "What better place to go"

I also knew I wouldn't be able to give alot of people here the flu...because they are sick already.

ooooh I'm bitter tonight

The whole night thing should help Nicky a bit, most of the USA dirttracks are run at night. You are correct, it will be way cool to see....

deserts have a lack of water, but that does not mean a lack of life, as shown by the camel spiders...

i do however think that the main race will be run late enough at night to avoid the insect "rush hour".
