Anybody know what the TV coverage for this is? I assume it's live here in the States but I can't find what channel it's on. I know it's not Speed so that means either CBS or Fox... Or RU after it's over which I'll probably do anyways because we don't get the 125 race...

That new complex looks shit

That's wet!

125cc QLF Coverage just started, and it's still soaking wet.

My god, that's very wet.

Casey Stoner crashed this morning for info.

Only the second wettest racing track this weekend lol. But yeah, difficult conditions for the Moto GP boys there.

Did anybody tell the people in the stands these guys do run in the rain?

Talma crashed :'(

Hell, I wouldn't be out there in the soaking rain to watch 125CC practice or qualifying... The fans will be there on Sunday, but don't expect a big crowd, or a crowd at all, for the practices and qualifying sessions.

Whaaaaat happened????
Is he injured now or something??
