Plugging the calendar in case we want to have a flash mob somewhere to watch the race.

Qatar race is this weekend, but events start tomorrow.  Single event Video Pass is about $17.  Not sure yet if I will watch the race or go riding.  I can always watch the race on a rainy day...

Good preview here:

Looks like Lorenzo had no trouble adapting to the Michelin tires and the new electronics package.
