| Macau GP - \'Live\' TV schedule (Rutter\'s on pole) BRITISH EUROSPORT  Live 20/11/2005 – 00:45 to 01:15 (Central European Time) 20/11/2005 – 04:45 to 07:00 (Central European Time) Delay Broadcast 20/11/2005 – 07:00 to 08:30 (Central European Time) 20/11/2005 – 15:00 to 16:00 (Central European Time) Rutter stays on course for record-equalling sixth victory in Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix – Hotel Fortuna Michael Rutter (1000cc Red Bull Honda) will start in pole position for today’s 39th running of the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix – Hotel Fortuna after fading light prevented the second qualifying session from being held yesterday afternoon. Instead the times set in Thursday’s one-hour timed practice session will make up the grid for the 15-lap race with Rutter aiming to make it six wins and equal the record held by fellow Brit Ron Haslam. Rutter was quickest in the 30-minute extra practice session that replaced the qualifying period to confirm his superiority in the event, but Austrian Thomas Hinterreiter (1000cc Yamaha Austria Racing Team) slipped back to 10th fastest after qualifying second fastest. Hinterreiter is not sure that he will be able to make it to the chequered flag. He fractured a rib in a racing accident in Spain two weeks ago and though a pain-killing injection allowed him to set second fastest time on Thursday, he was in pain at the end of yesterday’s session. John McGuinness (1000cc Stobart Honda), who starts third on the grid, improved his time slightly and is confident he can stop Rutter’s record-breaking bid. Ulsterman Stephen Thompson (1000ccMSS Discovery Racing Kawasaki) was fourth best yesterday, but will start 14th on the grid. Big surprise came from American John Haner (1000cc Lees Cycle Racing Honda), making his debut at the event, who continued to slice chunks off his lap time to end fourth best in the session with a time that would have qualified him in sixth place on the grid. Scotsman Callum Ramsay (Klaffi Honda), winner of the Supersport 600cc race last year will start on the front row of the grid next to Rutter, Hinterreiter and McGuinness thanks to a super-fast lap on Thursday. But Ramsay could only manage 20th best time today. He faces a strong threat from fellow countryman Steve Allan (MSS Discovery Racing Kawasaki) and Spaniard Pere Riba, on another MSS Discovery Racing Kawasaki who were second and third fastest Supersport machines.
