Also hearing that the Silverstone track crew are pulling an all nighter digging drainage ditches so they might actually be able to race in the deluge that's been predicted!
I watched them sweeping off standing water and it wasn’t even raining that hard. Too much rain is unsafe for the speeds they’re trying to accomplish.

It was scheduled for 3:10AM here in CA,so did they move it forward or backward(I'm having a bit of a brain fart at the moment
)?

They just moved MotoGP into the Moto3 slot, the weather prediction was best at that time. Frankly I'll be amazed if they race at all if it's as bad as the riders are saying. Everyone seems to be speaking out about it now.It was scheduled for 3:10AM here in CA,so did they move it forward or backward(I'm having a bit of a brain fart at the moment
My free to air coverage starts in exactly 17 minutes , got to get setup and fast ... catch you on the otherside bros .
WoW talk of canceling the race?! No plans to run it on Monday? I think that would probably benefit Marquez. Anything can happen in the rain including a crash. Bet he would just rather not do this.
Not going to happen , I watched the tv from 7.30pm to 10.40pm , interesting footage of the bikes sitting around the sheds , so all was not lost . But no Monday race , too hard to organize they were saying . Bad for racers of all classes , but the poor UK / EU etc. fans sitting it out waiting in miserable conditions , and then they can expect to leave in bumper to bumper traffic , die hard good people .

This is frankly innexcusable. Silverstone is an F1 track in an area that rains often, owned by (amongst others) past and present UK F1 champions. The fact that the track is in such piss poor shape for motorcycle use should be grounds for an immediate move back to Donington!

Races officially cancelled now. Could have seen that coming.

I guess so but I think it might be a resurface gone bad?

It was resurfaced in the spring, they have had several wet club races etc. since to gather feedback/fix it but did nothing. Track is simultaneously glass smooth/ bumpy as hell, combined with drainage problems. Recipe for disaster, anyone see Rins jumping off his bike when it hydroplaned?

The F1 guys said it was bumpy as hell the other week and a few made comments regarding how the GP bikes
would fare, watching the free practice sessions across the classes there were plenty of 'out of the seat'moments some bloody scary. It was strange at first watching Alex Rins bail off the zook cause almost
all riders try to save the situation, he estimated 10cm of water and no brakes as the carbon discs were saturated. Alex got up pretty quick and tried to warn the other riders when disaster struck for Tito who was walking back after his fall only to be smashed into by Francos bike, poor bugger smashed Femur busted Tib and Fib.
Ive had the same injuries from a u turning car it brought back painfull memories.
