Valentino Rossi is down on the idea of continuing night races. Citing disruptions like the one today and other logistics problems, he would rather they cancel the notion all together.

Rossi said tonight’s situation should be a lesson to other race organisers considering running events at night.

“First of all, since they want to race at night at Sepang too, this maybe will make them throw away that unhealthy idea,” the world champion told Italia1 television.

“In my opinion we must race during the day. If we raced at two in the afternoon it would have been better.”
