MotoGP – Losail – Race moved to tomorrow, the opinions of Stoner, Rossi and Capirossi

The cancellation of the first race of the 2009 world championship due to rain caused the GP to be moved to tomorrow; Dorna has decided that the competition will take place at 20pm Italian time; the decision was delicate due to the tire issue (the possibility of competing during the day had been feared) and other factors linked to team logistics, flights and so on. Let's hear the opinions of three illustrious representatives of the circus, Casey Stoner (Ducati), Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) and Loris Capirossi (Suzuki).

“It's just bad luck with the weather” – declared the Australian Ducati rider Casey Stoner - It may be a good idea, or it may be a bad idea to race on Monday. A great deal of money has been spent on keeping people here at a time when we are trying to reduce costs. It's disappointing that this happens."

“If you run at night, these things can happen - he added Valentino Rossi - Since they would like to race at night in Sepang too – added Rossi to Sport Mediaset – maybe he gets this unhealthy idea. In my opinion, you have to race during the day on a motorbike - claimed the rider from Tavullia - even if seeing the rain here is strange. When you want to race at night there can be these risks, if we raced at two in the afternoon it would have been better."

“I don't know if it's right to race tomorrow – added Loris Capirossi – For me it was easier to come back here in September: The Hungarian GP was cancelled, we are able to come back here. There will be no racing for the entire month of September!”
