I emailed Quest yesterday, Nasher, and asked if they would be showing the highlights again this year. This is their reply:

"Hi Vince,
Thank you for that.
I think we probably will but I am not 100% sure.
I will ask the relevant team and get back to you when i hear anything.
Kind regards,
Aatish"

I'll let you know when I hear something definite.

So it seems that Quest won't be showing the highlights this year but Channel 5 will. I've sent them an email for confirmation and to ask when the first highlights package will be broadcast.

Hmm? Despite this site saying Channel 5 would broadcast free-to-air highlights, https://www.sportingfree.com/motogp/...verage-rights/ Channel 5 itself has said that this is not the case.

On another site, a report with today's date says that it's all still up in the air (a bit last minute, don't you think?).

"On the free-to-air highlights front, negotiations are believed to be ongoing between Dorna and prospective broadcasters as of writing.

So I guess it's just a case of "watch this space". I'll update this if I hear anything more.
