Those of you who don't follow MotoGP: Start Now
Today's race at Phillip Island was one for the ages. We are truly in a golden age of motorcycle racing, and I really feel sorry for those of you missing it. You won't find racing this crazy, insane, awesome, amazing, etc, etc, anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and watch today's race. Your jaw will be on the floor the entire 45 minutes.

I don't follow motogp but happened to catch this race yesterday due to limited TV selection while on business in China. The battle for top 4 was great! I'll be watching more.

340 kmh (207mph) at the end of the straight. Unbelievable.

I ride supermoto because I can push the envelope and crash my brains out and its just kind of funny to crash and get right back up, kick the bike and keep going
![]() You really can't do that on a 260HP, 360LB bike.

Wish I could answer this, but I don't have TV. Anyone else?

I don't think there's another broadcast on the schedule. You can probably pay to see it on MotoGP.com.

I might, Sammy. As with anything else, if you've been involved in the sport you have a greater understanding of what it takes to compete at that level than a lay person who might watch on TV or even see an event in person.

I record the GP races. Watched this one and didn't delete it after...as per usual.
Will watch again. Amazing talent, all.

As I mentioned in the thread that I started, I have never ridden a motorcycle. I am just a gear-head and race fan to the core. And as Motion indicated, this has been an incredible season!!!! It is awe-inspiring! Such that even though with my subscription to MotoGP.com, I can watch the races any time, I choose to watch them live at some ungodly hour of the night/morning!!! It has completely replaced F1 for me!!! It reminds me of being a kid and waking up early with my Dad, to watch Senna, Mansel, Berger, Prost, et al. duke it out!!! The riders are fearless and their skill is not human! It makes F1 seem silly!

Guess we need to start a thumb drive rotation of this race
![]() Who's first? I can get the drive out maņana. The rule is that you must get the drive out to the next person in the next day's mail.
