MotoGP officials have decided to run tonight's cancelled race tomorrow night at 9pm local time (6pm, GMT) with Fiat Yamaha's Valentino Rossi joking they should have a hire care race because the track will be dirty.
"After six months without racing and after two days of practice and so much work by everyone it’s very frustrating and this is why it was important to take the decision to race tomorrow," said The Doctor.
"It will be strange because I don’t think there’s ever been a Monday race! It will also be hard to wait another day, and the pressure will be more, but I am happy that we will get the chance to ride. Of course now we have to keep our fingers crossed for the weather tomorrow, but the forecast says it will be ok.
"The other important thing is that something is done to clean the track, because it will be very dirty after this. Maybe we should all have a race with the hire cars in the morning!”
Marlboro Ducati's Nicky Hayden did take the grid tonight following his massive crash and subsequent trip to hospital yesterday but didn't look too comfortable in his leathers.
