Korben Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Thread for today's Qatar race discussion.Please use the spoiler button if you are talking results!!Nicky Hayden's highside looked nasty!! He's been taken to hospital for checks.Looking at the crash, something smashes into pieces before he hit's the ground.... I think his helmet smashes in to the bike and his visor smashes to pieces...

techno Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Unless he hit the astro turf it looked mechanical.Not to worry wasnt gonna do much he should be ok tho, was giving rider ok during the 250 qualifying!Oh and if its wet no racing! Quote
Korben Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 Yeah, just watching the 250cc quals on replay and they stopped the 250cc practise due to a few drops.... Lights blinding the riders....If it's stopped later today then that should be the end of night races. Quote
Jerry Can Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Yea Hayden's crash looked pretty harsh, couldn't see it properly because the camera man blithered the shot all over the show but in any case, I'll be surprised if he races tomorow. Quote
Korben Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 Hmmmm.... Good start to the 125's..... Quote
Guest Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 apart from the money angle, there is no possible reason to have night time races. sure they look good, but as has been shown this weekend, any rain and they cant race. Quote

Yeah... Reckon this won't be happening next year... Turned into a bit of a joke the 125 race. Quote
techno Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 It was a farce but as they stated they pay more money to dorna to be first on the calendar!How much rain do they actually expect in doha anyway? However 250's was a real race Quote
Korben Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 Awesome race the 250... Had me fixed to the screen...Predications for the big race?StonerRossiEdwards For me. Quote

Korben Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 I am beginning to think..... No one is racing!! Quote
Voodoo Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Lol, this is going to help my MCN team, shame theres no race though. Quote
Evs7 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 yeah we can all make changes for the next race, but what a disappointment.Just heard from Toseland one option was that they may run the race tomorrow. Don't know if thats a realistic option or not.What a damn shame though, you wait six months and then rain stops play and not because they can't ride in it... no it's because of those stupid floodlights so the reflection off of the track is blinding the riders.Qatar 2010 needs to be raced in the day.

jimsoon Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 i agree, I'm watching the 05 race on eurosport now did they hold it at a different time of year then or has it changed for tv times? Quote
Evs7 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 2005 was in August I think... but to be honest it's not too hot. World Superbikes raced there about a month ago and they done two races not just one.very disappointed Quote
techno Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Lol, this is going to help my MCN team, shame theres no race though. A chance to make some points back perhaps....another let down.What a farce if they have to have a night race it should be scheduled when theres no chance of rain...regardless of the size of the cheque!!So its now down to a 16 round world championship Quote
Guest Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Ever so glad that after 5 years I managed to get the freeview box working!! Quote
techno Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Ever so glad that after 5 years I managed to get the freeview box working!! Slightly random but well done Quote
Guest Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 So that I could watch the racing..... that didnt happen!! Quote
