MotoGP 2009It's back, with the first race in Qatar under the floodlights tomorrow.

Even better than F1, I can't wait even though the halfwits at the BBC are showing the race on BBC3, rather than the usual BBC2 coverage.
mrs ravey is also looking forward to the race at 8.45pm UK time...

As opposed to last year when they showed it on..er... BBC3, what do you expect? Almost everyone can still watch it, it'll be exactly the same coverage and it would get lower ratings than whatever is on BBC2 instead.

The reason for showing the MotoGP on BBC3 is that 'The Masters' - something to do with badly dressed middle aged men chasing a small white ball around a series of fields - is on BBC2.
Still looking forward to it though.

The suggestion being that motor cycle riders are well dressed?

| Gets higher ratings no matter how you describe it
It won't be anywhere near as exciting as the F1 season has been so far but it should be fun.

The BBC website states that the rescheduled race will now be shown on the red button tonight, assuming you have digital TV.

Wel if it's not one thing it's another!
No qualifying at Motegi due to heavy rain, so Sundays grid positions are decided by times in Fridays practice, putting Rossi on pole.

Wonder if the number of overtaking manoeuvres after the first corner will clear double figures this race.
