MotoGP is Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

In case you've missed it, MotoGP "re-starts" the season this weekend with a round at Jerez, Spain.  Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the schedule has been completely revised, with this weekend's race being followed by another race at Jerez next weekend.  In fact, as the calendar stands at the moment, the "double rounds" outnumber the single rounds (five to three), and if you like watching MotoGP races in Spain, you're in luck, as there will be seven of them this year...

 

Roll on!

 

Ciao,

And here in the US the races are now on NBC and NBC Sports. I expect many commercials and truncated coverage.

Well, not watching in Spain, just anywhere with a tv.  😎  Yes JZH, racing is finally here, thanks for posting.

 

Looks like Rins is out, MM93 is near the top as usual, and Quartararo fastest on a single lap. But in the heat maybe Dovi will manage tires to victory?

 

Can't wait. But will I watch live at 5am local time? hmmm...maybe!

Interesting race. With one less alien on the grid and the championship opening up, the rest of the main players might actually try instead of phoning it in.

I watched them all MotoE, Moto3, Moto2, and MotoGP.  So glad that racing is back.  Very surreal to see the track without any fans.  Almost like a glorified trackday!  LOL.

Trackdays have crashes too....

 

 

Today a pal of mine had a "Petrucci" at Hoge Heide/Ramshoek (Assen).  Sore but ok.  His RC51 less so...

Ramshoek (like Meeuwenmeer) is not for the faint hearted...

Sorry to hear about your buddy, Dutchy.  Glad to hear he is ok.  Bikes can be fixed/replaced, so still a good day despite the off.

Marquez, Crutchlow, and Rins all given the go ahead to race!  Damn these guys are super human.

MM cleared to race. If he gets a podium then the rest of the paddock may as well just go home and self isolate for the rest of the year.

True that, it certainly takes a lot longer to heal up.

I believe this is Rossi's 25th season, so as luck has it, I had a matching dram to toast his podium! :wheel:

The Bowmore and Laphroaig are my favourites, haven’t tried the Black Oyster or the vintage Caol ILA.
