i have tata sky at home....the schedule says for Ten Sports - 9 pm ....and for Neo Sports - 7pm qatar live!!!!!!

EDIT - just saw the advertisement on Neo Sports..and its says 11 pm.......yes, i m as confused as u might be.....but i would go with the 11pm timing

11 PM IS the timing. The race starts at 11:30.

They have started showing the qualifiers from this season only. So you havent missed much basically !!

BTW , your signature Viva La Figa, I was wondering how many know what it means !!

damn.. my cable network is the biggest in Kerala.. still, both Ten sports & neo sports r not there.. they have neo cricket.. showing old cricket matches always.. im gonna miss the moto gp.. will have to switch to Tata Sky or Sun Direct DTH

Telecast is at 2350 IST..

Heh heh ... the situation isnt much better here mate !! In bangalore, the cable connection I have has only 2 sports channels and he has put DD Sports on one and Star Sports on the other !!
Lets see if they switch to Ten Sports at night or not !!

BTW maybe we can start a new thread for each race or someting !!

U guys dnt have ten sports there..?? Goshh... lets hope they switch to it at night...!!

The more things change, the more they remain the same !!
Its gonna be a Rossi Stoner show this year, with Lorenzo and Dovi joining in once in a while !!
My heart went out to Melandri though ! Nice effort !!

what an awesome race....

Were you watching the same race that I was ?? I mean motogp qatar ?

Stoner won for the third time in Qatar.. Rossi placed 2nd n Lorenzo 3rd..!!

Good to see Stoner holding his position at the front and not making any mistakes. Rossi was disappointed and it clearly showed on his face. But, this is just Losail, quite favourable for Stoner and his Ducati. The real stuff will now be coming in the forthcoming weeks. Anyways it was a relief to see the Aussi cross the line without making any silly mistakes or, worse, crashing out.

Finally the first motogp race for 2009 happened safely today

The battle has started, 1st race gone, so many to come!!!! Go Vale Go

by the way, impressive result for Collin Edwards finishing 4th, I am happy for him. He is impressed by the bridgestone tyres...nice to see him battling at the front

Brilliant ride by Stoner. It's about time that everyone just accepted that he's a damn good rider too! My hopes of seeing a good battle went up a little when I saw Rossi bring it down to 1.9 secs, but alas it was not to be. Casey began scorching the track and forced Vale to backoff and settle for 2nd (20 important points). I hope to see some good battles this season. GO Vale GO! My heart went out for Capirossi though. He looked really promising before losing the front end and ending up in the gravel.

Well. Well. Well. Did anyone notice The Yamaha (Lorenzo) slipstreaming the Factory Honda (Dovi) at the main straight? It's the first time I've seen that.. Two thumbs up for the Yamaha guys, they have done a fantastic job!

Besides, it was a fine race by the elder statesman Colin. There will come a point that the teams support for James Toseland will evaporate if he doesn't get his finger out. Even though he's come of the back of 2 massive high sides which would probably have had most people here in hospital for weeks on morphine. Though I like the guy I some how see Simoncelli or Bautista getting that ride next season. I hope I'm wrong though

The disappearing act again by Casey
Was hopeful of a showdown between Rossi and Stoner, when Rossi's laptimes were consistently lower than Stoners. But the bike red duke responded and the race ended up being a typical Stoner demolition job.

2009 is gonne be another season of the two : Rossi and Stoner being in a class of their own. No one else could keep up with these two yesterday. Here's hoping the rest of the pack catches up with them for some rollicking racing !
