Yup. Liberty Media has not been good for F1. I hate to see Moto GP embark upon the same path

All the sophisticated electronics, the ride-height shenanigans, the minimum-tire pressure rules and all that aero trickery have taken the MotoGP of old and turned it into something completely new and different.

I'm not saying it's good or bad, but I doubt that Liberty is going to make the 'product' any better in the eyes of people who once watched Spencer wheelie left and right through the corkscrew on a two-stroke.

(I wonder if Liberty will bring the circus back to Laguna Seca?)

Ditto

No grid girls, old time tracks, swearing (but that may be FIA). Liberty has been a disaster. MotoGP needs to plan on multiple crap races in the US

Laguna is too small for all three classes or so I was told when I was there in 2006 .

Luv that Yamaha livery.
