MotoGP
Set to go in few minutes. If you have it. It's on Channel 737 REV up here in Canada.
Better action than F1, sorry to say. And they have umbrella girls. Marquez on a Ducati Last edited by yellowperil; 03-10-2024 at 08:59 AM.. |

M3 was the best of the three today. Watch out for Acosta. When he learns tire management he will be a true challenger.

Really bummed out for Miller. Oh well, it is a long season.

Maybe it's an April Fools joke, but I don't think so; Liberty Media has bought the commercial rights to MotoGP from Dorna. I'll withhold judgement, but my hope is that they don't turn this into the circus that F1 has become. (Thankfully WSBK is thriving and the races are thrilling. Toprak on the BMW is making the Ducatis nervous. The season looks like a good one.)

MotoGP bikes are the most advanced motorcycles in the world. The technology is approaching F1 complexity. IDK what a new media owner would / could do to the sport that isn't already being done.
I'd be more concerned about what they might do to the broadcast quality of the races. I currently subscribe to Dorna's streaming service and it is excellent.

Per BBC.com. https://www.bbc.com/sport/motorsport/68707565
So, guessing MotoGP is now a support race to F1?

lifted from the beeb
Austin MotoGP Race Report April 14, 2024 Marc Marquez crashes out after trying to pass some 19 yo kid named Pedro on a customer KTM of unknown vintage. The struggle is hilarious. Fans cheer when he screws the pooch and its the bed. The other competitors have learned how to feed back to him his NASCAR like punts. When will he learn he is only a mid-pack rider now? Nice work Maverick on your win. You are very talented and you deserve this and more. Enea once again shows that he is a superior rider and deserves his place on the factory team. The loud mouth Jorge Martin shows us that the Latin bravado only goes so far in racing and works better at night clubs with trashy fat girls.. Sorry dude you’re not that good Someone let Frankie out on the track again and now the Ducati parts bins have a few more part less after it canning another bike WTF Pedro looks like he will win the Championship. He is great ride and a nice guy. Congratulation there pal on your second place we were all cheering for you. The Honda’s continue to do parade laps before they crash out. When will they get rid of that big hole Puig anyhow? MotoGP Fanatic and highly entertained by Marc Marquez’s “flying hand stands” VR45 Troll

Yup, the MotoGP race was incredible.
Thrilled for Maverick, I hope he maintains this form for the rest of the season. Who remember Maverick raced and won on a Paris Hilton sponsored 125cc?

You will thank me by telling you to look for highlights of the race today. A truly epic battle for the lead.
