    Don't forget this weekend's MotoGP race is being run at night (the
    MotoGP race is scheduled to run at 11pm Sunday night Qatar time) so the
    live broadcast times are pretty abnormal for Australia. You won't find
    them at the expected times

    Just checked out the program guides and here are the times

    Fox Sports 2
    Monday 03:45 - 08:30 live coverage of all 3 classes
    Ch 10
    Monday 06:45 - 08:30 live coverage of the MotoGP class
    Fox Sports 3
    Monday 17:30 - 20:00 replay of all 3 classes
    Ch 10
    Tuesday 00:10 - 02:30 replay of all 3 classes
    Fox Sports 1
    Tuesday 12:00 - 14:30 replay of all 3 classes

    For the hardy few who actually watch the "live" telecast live; be warned. I
    think it's actually still delayed an hour or two so don't log in to live
    timing.

    AAAHHH !!!! sorry.. I forgot about you folks in Qld who are an hour
    behind.

    According to the motogp website the MotoGP commences at 11pm which is
    7am Melbourne. From the TV guide I'm looking at, it looks like the FOX
    2 coverage will be "live" (02:45am - 07:30 Monday) and the Ch 10
    coverage will be delayed an hour. Looks like Ch10 will be broadcasting
    live into the other eastern states.

    OK you may have me here Nev; I think I read AEST -7 hours as AEDST -7 hours.
    I know the competitive day starts at 1800 local time which is 0100 AEST time
    but I can't find the actual scheduled start times for the various events.

    Hmmm that does look live then; telecast starts at 0245 and the 125 race is
    at 0300, MotoGP race starts at 0600 and telecast ends at 0730 AEST.
    Just forget I spoke, OK?
