MotoGP highlights!

[Kato]

Interesting race ..... Not sure about all the team movements

Quatararo is a good shout for Yamaha, don't understand why Rossi is still on the grid or what the point of moving to the satellite team is.... but then it could be said that I'm not really a Rossi fan
Expect MM to have some competition this season (if you can call it a season) more like the Spanish championship with 7 races in Spain he may have a small advantage

Ducati seem a bit out in the wilderness Talk of Dovi taking a year out and even Cal on the bike next year !!!!

You can get highlights (only 7 mins) on Youtube on the official motogp channel. Worth it. Even MM haters will have to grudgingly admit to his talent........

Just emailed Quest and they say it will now be broadcast tonight at 6 and available on dplay from 7.

Answered your own question. You showed your hand there, but at least you didn't try to pretend to be a fan of the sport.

Basically, Rossi is still there because he's still good at it. Good enough to be on the grid without a shadow of doubt, and that's all that matters. Perhaps it would be more open minded to ask why various others are still on the grid, who not only perform worse than VR46 but also don't really bring anything else to the sport either?

As for the racing, unfortunately MotoGP is screwed when somebody can leave the track, drop to last place or whatever it was and still podium, if not win (which MM93 would undoubtedly have done had he not binned it).

The ease in which he sliced through the field wasn't just about his undeniable talent, it was also due to the total lack of resistance from anybody! They know they can't compete with him so they basically just get out of the way!

This is great if you are a rabid MM93 fanboy I suppose, but not if you're a genuine fan of bike racing.

As usual, Moto3 delivered the goods!! Felt sorry for McPhee, but at least he went down fighting!

Not a Marquez fan but there's no denying the boys skill on two wheels, even if some of the also rans jumped out of his way he was still faster than the front runners. I thought he was very unlucky not to be on the podium.
