OK, mate
I,ll try to cool down, (I wished i had a few of those wives to spend my sunday evening time in a more relaxed way. )

but for dorna and the bosses only money counts.

anyway, i, think we have missed this round already, and just have to wait for the next round with the normal start times.

If this was in the afternoon, rain could make it even better, maybe they think to change it for the next years.

250cc starts!

...., rain brought a lot of ..... on the track...

A couple crashes already... so slippery,isn't it ?

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.
Toby and Jules were saying that the decision to move this race to March/April was governed by money. It is far more lucrative for Dorna to stage this early in the year- something to do with it being the first race of the season at the venue, a coup for the the Arab circuit owners who pay double the fee for the privilege. This race used to be held in October when there was virtually zero chance of rain, but of course the temperature is much higher, whereas the only time this place tends to see rain is this time of year.

So race at night in October then. Failing that, if Dorna want the cash incentive, then by all means run it as the season opener, but race during the day -which you can due to the cooler temperatures at that time of year, and it won't matter if it rains.

Like Michael say's, this series is being run by accountants, and it's systematically killing it.

13 lap 250 race - here we go, short changed again.

Yeah, I'm loving it! Too bad its only 13 laps... Big group that can still win & no one's gonna leave rubber on the tyre in a 13 lap race...

Stupid adverts and stupid dorna. How can they get rid of great racing like this?

Bautista rides like a demon!

Jeez, Barbera v's Clusel, this could be messy

Great race!!! Clouseau should be able to get some sponsors now!!!

Love the French . Ageeed great race. Just on queue for a spectacular de puniet dnf

Good race even if it was again too short. Great to see new names on the list. How many of them will stay for Moto2?

Sadly the motogp race wont be half as exciting as the 250 one....

Let's hope for another epic Rossi - Stoner battle...

That's it. We're off to the pub for an hour - refuse to have whatever sparse excitement there may be in the main race destroyed by the BBC.

Back for Eurosport coverage/highlights when it resumes in an hour.

Wooooo GP in HD is here. Please don't rain...

Can see the glimmer of elias' iPod and the hairs coming out of verms. mole!

wtf did i hear them say drops of rain ffs ?

I don't care what you guys think, but I'm looking forward to the start, this could be good.
