I must be thinking of something else then. I do know there is a reason for them not having the race on the sunday. Thumbs Up

Yup, correct.

As to whether they work on sundays, it totally depends on Ramadan as it falls on different days.

Casey Stoner qualified in first. Shocked

The BBC wrote:
Stoner's achievement came in only his second MotoGP race, and was all the more remarkable as he was suffering from flu, and had been delayed arriving in Qatar because of flight problems.

"I can't believe it especially after all the problems I had getting here but it was certainly all worth it," said Stoner, who finished sixth on his MotoGP debut at Jerez in Spain.

"I don't particularly like the circuit but everything just worked so well and let's hope it continues."




Stoner (Aus) Honda 1:55.683
2 Loris Capirossi (Ita) Ducati 1:55.721
3 Toni Elias (Spa) Honda 1:55.735
4 Nicky Hayden (USA) Honda 1:55.793
5 Dani Pedrosa (Spa) Honda 1:56.008
6 Valentino Rossi (Ita) Yamaha 1:56.076
7 Sete Gibernau (Spa) Ducati 1:56.177
8 Colin Edwards (USA) Yamaha 1:56.230
9 Shinya Nakano (Jpn) Kawasaki 1:56.237
10 Kenny Roberts (USA) Honda 1:56.272
Selected Other: 17 James Ellison (GB) Yamaha 1:58.674

Should make it more exciting.

(Cheers for the reminder Mr Everready. I would have been very annoyed on Sunday)

I agree the commentators on BBC are unbelievably bad.

Eurosport commentary is pretty damn good

At the end of the day I don't care who wins, theres no top Brit riders, I like to see close battles with plenty of overtakes.

Yup, correct.


Just for completeness, some of the gulf states have thu/fri as the weekend, certainly the case in Oman and Saudi Arabia. This is a right pain in the arse, not least because I go back to work when everyone i know in the UK is just starting their weekend Crying or Very sad I believe UAE, Qatar etc changed to Fri/sat so that they lost only one working day in their commercial dealings with the rest of the world.

Thanks for reminder Thumbs Up

I think it's so funny listening to James Whitham - you can tell he would love to be out there himself Thumbs Up

He's a good commentator, when you can understand him Laughing

Dammit, I was late home and started watching at lap 14.

How did Rossi get from 6th to 1st? Anything spectacular? Haydon did awesomely, as did capirossi.

Shame to see Stoner drop back a bit, he will be amazing.

Was it just me or was the camera work a tad sloppy? Especially for the first part of the race it seemed no-one could hold a camera straight.
