Does anyone know why 450 has gone first for practice qualifying heat races lcq etc. All except for the main event now? I think they did this at another round also.

Lol. I remember them moving the 450 motos first for outdoor do to premier tv times. But just don’t remember them ever moving them like this for everything except for the mains.

When does Deegan race ? Probably because they audience they're after would shut it off after 450 main and not stick around for 250.

Or arrive late. Probably not as many people tuning in to the beginning part of the show to watch the 250s, so they switched it around. I just wish they would keep it in that order for the LCQs as well. It has to be rough on the 250 LCQ guys to turn around that quick.

One word. Television. They want the 'premiere class' to bookend everything else. So that the more 'household' names are front and center at the start and at the end. No idea if it actually works.

To start and end with the premier class.  I guess it improved views so they’re sticking with it for now.

Its the Stadiums. Feld has nothing to do with it Cool  

From Allied Entertainment and Services Division union agreement/ statement of work: "Section 1:3 Bargaining unit employees must be included or notified of any changes to promotional content, activities, and/or changes in stadium event scheduling, allowing for negotiation and oversight of the Agreement."

So Feld provided a schedule of events to all stadium staff and union leaders/ stewards for negotiation of the events and it was decided to have the 450Fs go first.

Grossly unfair for the 250 dudes coming through their LCQ.
