    Nope they are going to air it live, so with the time difference that puts it at Friday night our time.


    On another note, apparently testing isn't going so well with both bikes suffering engine problems and well off the pace.( 8 seconds) But I'm sure they will get it sorted by Friday.

    Thanks! If it should be Friday night, then what I'm seeing at 10:45 is probably it. I was just thinking it would be Saturday night rather than Friday night, but the whole international date thing is probably screwing me up.

    And, yeah, 8 seconds is a pretty big gap, but that's why they're there. They certainly won't be on the podium this weekend, but hopefully they will be making steady progress.

    This ain't the AMA. They need a full season or TWO to start running mid-pack. I, too, want it sooner and I'm pulling for them, but let's just be proud they made the show. May and Yates are very talented riders, but they wouldn't likely do better than mid-pack on top tier machinery. The team has a lot of disadvantages: new bike, new team, new tracks, new race series, riders new to the series, etc.

    They jumped into the deep end and need time to develop.
