Forecast not looking promising though.

Yep, i was surprised that neither the earlier practice session and/or qualifying were not red flagged at any point. IMO Qualifying should have been red flagged about 5 minutes from the end but it doesn't matter at this point.
This Silverstone event feels slightly weird on TV IMO. Like it doesn't feel like a "normal" Moto GP event. Normally it feels like theres a great atmosphere, lots of noise from the crowd, lots of people around, plenty of sun (cant be helped). Not sure if its because the fans are so far away from the track or that the numbers of spectators didnt look amazing (due to weather likely).
Still i think the Moto GP bikes are fantastic around Silverstone, very fast, fast direction changes and a great sound. Glad that the Sprint race was able to be held and im looking forward to tomorrow when the weather should be better.
