    The session takes place early in the morning Japanese time, starting at 7.45am and finishing just before 11am.

    With Britain eight hours behind, this means the cross-country starts at 11.45pm on Saturday in Britain and then finishes in the early hours of Sunday. The British times below are all on Sunday unless it states it’s a Saturday time.
