I know that we are on the subject of the MGP practice, but in the TT the solo's are always out first leaving the sidecars to get the worst of the weather and light conditions on most evenings. The reason being (so i have heard in chinese whispers) that it is harder to move a sidecar of the track, health and safety and all that.. But i think that in both Mgp and TT that practices should be alternated if and when they can. Look at the bad weather, if it comes in (and 9 times out of 10 it does) its always near the end of the session, which means that which ever class thats out at that time only gets to do 1 lap, when the first session's class's got 2 maybe 3 laps. i personaly would like to see the practice set up change in both MGP and the TT for all them poor bu**ers that do have to start last every year!!
