Yeah, I was wondering if Pedrosa may be the one instead of De Puniet. I also considered Hayden and Gibernau, but I think they have enough fight in them to go to top 15 no matter what.

I know Nicky was out and game in warm-up... but race distance will be tough... I'm betting on 3 DNFs!
 
Problem is not the water!
Its the reflection of the lights in the asphalt. Tends to blind the riders.

Sound like it's drying up. Dry front straight now, probably a delayed 250 start, or maybe they move it after MotoGP.

Which is caused by the water.

The spray is a worry too. The droplets forming on a riders visor can refract the floodlights.

Talking of which, it's certainly flood-lit tonight

But there's still a lot of weather activity in the area...

Jupp, and it's just innside 2/3rds distance so full points will be awarded.
 
Plan B - use the 250s as blow dryers for the main event!!! Can you say mickey mouse operation? Fugly...

I agree with you all here about the 125 race.4 Laps?!
Just because the Moto GP race should be on time.The whole thing collapses because of a rainshower?!
Maybe it would be better to race in daytime then.
