MotoGP's Qatar Grand Prix

There were lots of concerns over this one after Dorna shot down the riders' request to move the start time from 8pm local to 7pm - how it was last year.

Conditions tend to take a turn for the worse around 8pm, which was evident both in pre-season testing and yesterday, where a whole plethora of riders were caught out at Turn 2.

The good news is, it appears to be hotter and less humid now than it was on Saturday, which should help more riders stay in the race until the chequered flag.
