I'm out on a ride all day Sunday so thought I'd be missing Moto Gp but it's on BBC3 live at 20:45 so I will get to see it after all.

Is it flood lit race ?

Yep - it's run under the lights.  I think the Moto2 race will be the better race this time around.  Casey Stoner was 1/2 second faster than Lorenzo and Rossi.  Everyone else was at least a full second back.  

I'm hoping the times will get closer after all the practice and qualifying.  Nicky Hayden was 5th and Ben Spies was 6th.  

I'll be heading out to a Euro Bike gathering in Raleigh tomorrow afternoon, but will catch the qualifying late afternoon/evening.
