WSBK is easy. They have a great on-demand streaming package for about $75 USD. Highly recommended. I have done it for the last couple season and intend on doing it next season. For MotoGP, I know they have a streaming service as well. I do not have experience with it, but have heard good things about it as well. My DVR caught most of the GP action on whatever cable channel carried it (NBCSN?) last season. I believe it was tape delayed, but honestly I didn't stress too much because IMHO it is not that compelling., esp with the GOAT running around in 17th position. I believe NCBSN has been discontinued with most of the content moving to USA Network. I have no idea how this will affect GP coverage. |

Isn't this what got him into trouble in the first place??? https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/motogp-marc-m arquez-gets-back-on-two-wheels/ |

The American Racing Team in Moto2 now has two Americans. Sean Dylan Kelly (SDK) joins Cameron Beaubier for 2022. That puts three Americans on the track in the Moto2 championship. With 46 retired, I'm thinking Moto2 is going to be the far more interesting series for me this year. |

How unusual... Maverick Vinales is fastest in practice! https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/motogp-vinale s-tops-day-two-of-shakedown-test-at-sepang/ |

Vinales proves again he's the King of the pre-season. Let's see how well he does when he actually has to compete against other riders. He couldn't do it on the Yamaha (from all accounts the EASIEST bike to ride on the grid); I don't think the Aprilia will be any easier. |

Impressive. I like the Aprilia. |

I lost respect for Vinales when he intentional was over-revving to destroy the Yamaha out of spite. And yes there is a huge difference between turning fast laps by yourself and racing....that's why some guys can qualify nicely but rarely fight for a podium. VR46 was fairly well known as a much better racer than qualifier, especially in the 2nd half of his career. |

That's actually what made him so much fun to watch. He rarely won from the front row but had to fight his way through to the front to win. That was ALWAYS much more interesting than watching someone like Lorenzo or Marquez check out at the front and leave everyone else fighting for second place. There were those who suspected that Rossi INTENTIONALLY "sand bagged" it for "the show" and was capable of going faster than he did. This was bolstered by the incident in 2003 when he was handed a 10 second penalty at Philip Island and when notified put his head down and passed the finish line FIFTEEN SECONDS ahead of Loris Capirossi in second place. |

I wondered when we would start seeing more technical bodywork on MotoGP bikes. Also the exhaust system outlets have some interesting variations. G |

Yeh it took them forever to put the winglets on. John Britton was experimenting with them in the 80’s. It seems like a lot of his ideas have trickled down eventually. Just think how much ahead of the game bikes would be if he had lived. |

Never could warm up to the winglets. I I think they ruin the aesthetics of a motorcycle completely. |

GP bikes and cars do have some of the ugliest appendages imaginable but they do improve performance. G |

looks cool. I was hoping that the series was going to be carried on Amazon Prime, but it look like it is the documentary only... |

Yeah, you can only get the MotoGP (and WSBK) races streamed via Dorna's owned sites. I don't think they want to share the profits with anyone else. In fact, the reason I just provided the link instead of embedding the video above is that Dorna will only allow it to play on YouTube and doesn't allow embedding it in other sites. NO idea behind their logic on that. |

Cambee fastest American and third fastest overall so far in Portimao! https://www.crash.net/motogp/results/996663/1/port imao-moto2-test-results-saturday-day-1-session-1 https://www.crash.net/motogp/results/996667/1/port imao-moto2-test-results-saturday-day-1-session-2 |

Definitely the start of a new era. After over TWO DECADES, we will no longer see Valentino Rossi and his familiar yellow #46 on the roster. |

Yeh I was just thinking yesterday it will be strange not seeing his number in the field. |

Not seeing Rossi's name on the timing sheets is eerie. |

Anyone else watching Qatar right now? Showing on CNBC which I found on the NBC app on Apple TV. No subscription required. Sweet! All races to be shown on CNBC or NBC this season. |

Crap. I missed it. My cell sent an alert that it was on NBC but I couldn’t get my app to play it. I sure miss the days of Speedvision. |

The NBC app on Apple TV was fairly wonky. Video froze at least 3 times and the only way to fix it was exit the app, restart the Apple TV device, and re-enter the app. Still, I did get to watch 95% of the race, so that was cool. |

I just program my DVR. I still miss beIN Sports but I can always watch the races at my convenience without having to pay anything extra. |

Sling doesn't have CNBC. Oh well. I like watching GP, but it's more for the spectacle than the racing. Plus the last connection to the "heydays" has retired. I will stick to WSBK which will hopefully be as compelling as last year. |

Last year WSBK was televised sporadically. The first part of the season wasn't broadcast at all. Then NBC would OCCASIONALLY show ONE of the two races that weekend. REALLY made me miss beIN Sports! |

So who has WSBK this year? |

I moved my comment about WSBK video to the WSBK thread, just to cut down on the thread drift.... (Message edited by fresnobuell on March 10, 2022) |
