Are they doing the electric class this year or planning to burn them all down again?

I remember reading a couple of weeks back that kornfeil is replacing bradley smith since he's "standing in" for ianonne so I guess they're running the same calendar as everyone else

Don't forget this weekend's MotoGP race.

Not a "great" race but a dramatic one.

This season already a war of attrition, we might need a few replacement riders next race.

I was surprised when I turned on the race to hear about cal. I doubt he or rins make the next race even if marquez moves mountains to not fall further back.

You can set “no spoilers” as your default page on the app.

I’ll be curious to see if Marquez can get surgery and be back for next round. It sounds absurd but these guys are pretty ridiculous.

Are we going to have another Yamaha "old bike good, new bike bad" seasons or is Miller on a factory spec?

And did we establish if Gary McCoy was really the last winning satellite Yamaha rider?

Miller and Fabio are both on factory bikes.

Marc has once again proven that the only thing that can stop him from winning everything is himself. That injury has pretty much put paid to his season, now to see how long it takes him to get back on the track and if this latest of his injuries will hobble him any more than the previous ones did.

Big question, which of the Yamaha's is now going to be champion?

Dovi will be Mr Consistency, but I can't see him winning the championship with it (yes I know consistency is the name of the game).

He literally finished second behind Marquez three years in a row. If Marquez didn't exist he'd be a multiple world champion with little to no competition.

Vinales is fast but brittle, I don't think he can do it.

El dildo has the goods but lacks experience, if he's struggling to get past the red bikes at loving jerez he's gonna have a really, really bad time when he's 30kmh down on every straight.

Yeah it'll be interesting once they hit Brno and Red Bull Ring twice in a row, with Marc out of the picture you might be looking at a Ducati 1-2-3 at either of those tracks.

Did anybody watch on NBCSN, and if so what was the broadcast like? Did they show all three classes in full - and if not could you watch it online through the app?

I've been cable-less since the new year and haven't signed up for a cable service again yet.

They showed just the GP race it on full on regular NBC, though it was tape delayed to the afternoon. Broadcast was pretty good, they didn't have any commercial interruption.

For years I've just been watching it on the app/online. The chopped up US coverage is terrible.

This is probably just media hype because Honda would be absolutely crazy to let him race and risk their golden boy ending his career with another crash so soon.
