What a boring race the premier class was. Personally I don't like the night race type, far to much wasted energy and I wonder what'll happen if they do more of them. I noticed they didn't show people shivering in the stands.

I also wonder how long before Rossi goes back to Mitchelin, his team mate buried him. Or is he n the way out, after all the he's done it all so often now, as I noticed after he didn't look disapointed with 5th.

Nice ride for JT, bought time we had a good rider in there.

BTW I expect he did well as he wants to see Suzi naked, (who doesn't) :smt005

I don't think he had much more skill and talent than many other riders, just a phenominal amount of luck and an effective guardian angel. Both seem to have deserted him. :smt003

Its Quatar - there are no spectators at the circuit - less obvious at night though.

How wrong you are. One of our customers was there he said there were about 25000 people watching and it was bloody cold in the stands :smt005

Yeh! Probably at least 10 degrees hotter than Cadwell at Easter on a good day, and it was dry!!!!

Can they get 25000 in at Carlisle then. Or is it the sardine packing factory?
