FRIDAY
13
Most riders will arrive on Thursday, and it’ s media day. TV interviews for your home broadcasters and outlets around the world, a Press Conference and our special MotoGP™ programming all cover the latest breaking news and headlines from inside the paddock. Gearing up is the name of the game. And then it’ s go time.
FRIDAY
Friday is the day you come through the gates and take your seats, or find the best place to watch from, as track action gets underway. For MotoGP™, FP1 in the morning is a session to get familiarised with track conditions and see where the level is at. It’ s the same for Moto2™ and Moto3™, before the even more important stuff fires up in the afternoon. For MotoGP™, it’ s a 60-minute session to decide the top ten, who move through automatically to Q2 qualifying on Saturday morning. Those who don’ t make the cut get a second chance to move through in Q1, where the top two will join the already selected ten for the pole position shootout. So Practice is a big finish to Friday.
Moto2™ and Moto3™ follow the same format as MotoGP™, with Friday afternoon’ s Practice session deciding the top 14 who are automatically in Q2. The rest are in Q1.
