Qatar Highlights

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Northern Ireland

Suzi Perry presents highlights of the opening round of the 2008 MotoGP season in Qatar. This year's race will present a unique challenge for the riders as it is the first MotoGP night race, taking place under floodlights at 11pm local time. Australian Casey Stoner will take his place on the grid as the defending world champion while Britain's James Toseland will get his first taste of MotoGP after stepping up from World Superbikes where he won his second crown last season. And MotoGP's superstar, Valentino Rossi, who lost out in a cat-and-mouse battle with Stoner in Qatar last year, will also surely be among the contenders to take an early lead in this year's championship. Charlie Cox and Steve Parrish provide the commentary. Show less
