*The times shown for “Caravan Est. Arrival” and “Riders Est.

Actual arrival times may differ from the times above depending on how the race unfolds.
*Please also note that part of the caravan operation within the circuit course may be changed based on decisions made on the day (for example, reducing two laps to one).
