Anyone else excited about the start of MotoGP season?

It's kinda hard to get excited about something which you don't know what it is. I'm going to assume MotoGP is a race of some sort.
 
I've been enjoying this weekly MOTOGP group discussion on youtube. Fills the weekdays with something.
 
Yeah love the MotoGP. Qatar was really interesting. Race one is always where the truth begins. So far we know that Honda has built bikes that people -other than Marquez- can ride at winning pace and not fall off. Yamaha is too slow to be at the front, especially in qualifying and if you're not in the first three rows your likely to be toast, as is Quartarro's title defense. Every marque apart from Yamaha look competitive out of the box. Suzuki seems to have gained enough power and aero to not get blitzed down the long Lusail straights, Aprilla (4th place) and KTM (2nd place) are also well balanced and thus competitive packages. Ducati still seems on paper the bike to beat, and even though Bastianini came first on a Ducati, it was last years bike. For the record, the next best was Ducati was 8th (Zarco) behind both Suzukis and that 3 x Ducatis DNFed and no factory bike made it into the points.

The premier motorcycle race circuit.

Sadly the various NBC channels aren’t showing the race TV broadcast schedules where I can find them like I could the last few years. Or maybe it’s me spending most of my time in the shop
 
It's on CNBC at 3pm Eastern....

Your complete racing schedule for all things racing:
 
You know, when I was younger I was mad about all things racing. I truly wanted to get into it myself, having a rally-racer for a father. Life and money obstacles, plus a dose of parental common-sense intervened and I never did race. You'd think that I'd be more into now, but I'm just not. I do love catching the highlights and checking in on the drama now and again.
 
Who knew about this and didn't say anything? Wife and watched the first two episodes yesterday, and it is good.
Amazon for sure stole the format from Netflix and their Formula 1: Drive to survive....

 
OK, first day of Spring is going to be pretty cool.

We are just minutes away from lights out in the first Formula 1 race of the year, in Bahrain
New cars this year, with both Ferrari and Haas are looking strong. (ESPN)

Immediately after that, at 1pm eastern, is the first IndyCar race of the year, in Texas. (NBC)

And finally, at 3pm eastern, Moto GP from Indonesia, to finish the day off right. (CNBC)...:cool:
 
Interesting race today, definitely wouldn't have predicted the results from the last race
 
He was extremely lucky his high flying motorcycle missed him when it crashed to the ground. It was close.
...
 
Terrifying. What a ride by Oliveira too. The battles for 2nd-4th and 8th - 12th were fun to watch. Brad Binder really goosed his brother out of 8th... Sibling love! Isn't it remarkable that 1/4 of the field has a sibling in the race?

MARC Marquez, the Repsol Honda Team has announced, has suffered a second episode of diplopia after arriving back in Spain following the Indonesian round of the 2022 MotoGP World Championship last weekend.

Well crepe! Guess he's going to be out for a while again. Can't say I'm a Marquez fan but I think he has/does bring something to the sport.

Anyone going to Austin?

That sums it up pretty well.

I've been watching GP racing since 1978, and he's the best I've ever seen. Probably said this before here, but I was at COTA in 2013 when he won his first MotoGP race. Was here all three days and saw all of practice and qualifying. Left there just stunned, convinced he'd win the championship that year and as many after that as he was healthy for.

I saw the last Laguna Seca race that year.... He pulled Rossi's own undercut move on the corkscrew on Rossi in the race. We were standing right by the fence. Pretty cool to watch :)
 
Aleix Espargaro winning for the 1st time after 200 MotoGP races, I find very inspiring. Never having won in Moto 2 or 3, wow really inspiring.

Please hold back on the spoilers until a week or so has passed. I've got the races recorded, but haven't watched them all yet.

That said, I agree with you about AE. I'm so happy for him and Aprilia. They seem to have a really competitive package for this year.
