F1 Fanatic

Well I think Rossi would have made the podium if he hadn’t been tagged on the first lap, probably fighting with or just ahead of Crutchlow as Lorenzo was too fast today. If you watched the free practices it was […]

I was sure that Pedrosa would win today and that Rossi would get on the podium, and I went 0/2 in that regard.

A few things: I’m starting to enjoy Cal Crutchlow a lot, hopefully he can land a role with Suzuki […]

Wow, teammates racing each other without teamorders or radio whining. As an F1 fan, I’ve never seen that before.

Dumb error later on though by Marquez.

Dovi got past Pedrosa because he made two mistakes, and ran wide at the off camber right hander (Turn 4 I think) both times. Marquez made a couple of mistakes as well and both he and Pedrosa were lucky they […]

Pedrosa won at Le Mans today ahead of Cruthlow who was not perfectly fit and Marquez who recovered after dropping to 8th on the first lap. Dovizioso was fourth having led for plenty of laps.
Pedrosa lost the lead […]

The fatal flaw of the MotoGP-BT deal is the lack of FTA as an option. F1 still shows all races on the BBC (albeit with only half shown live). MotoGP, it seems, will have no such option. And in a country where […]

The BT Sports package will be available free to anyone with a BT Broadband package and I’m sure that’s a lot of people so already this is a lot better than the Sky deal. At least another company is coming along […]

Quite a strong package BT Sports are putting together. They have some top football league rights, now Moto GP, they probably need to get a tennis grand slam event and a golf major next if they really want to take […]

Stateside, I’m not sure how much longer SPEED will be the series’ broadcaster once they’re rebranded as Fox Sports One this year or next…

Eurgh.

Wow, very disappointing! Only got into MotoGP last season, so it’s frustrating to know that I won’t be able to watch it so soon after getting into it.

Ouch, now I know how F1 fans felt when it went to Sky.

Slightly gutted :/

Looks like some people think Marc’s move on Sunday was ok:

Dani Pedrosa, Repsol Honda Team

“It’s the final lap, it’s an aggressive move obviously. I guess if they hadn’t touched Marc would run out of track. […]

Of the 27 available places on the podium, only 6 have been taken by non-Spaniards. Only Rossi, Kallio, Nakagami and Folger (once) and Redding (twice) have done it.

Quite amazing that in the first three races, and in MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 there have been 9 different winners who are all Spanish!

Lorenzo/Marquez/Pedrosa
Espargaro/Terol/Rabat
Salom/Rins/Vinales

No matter what you think about his overtaking move – you’ve got to admit Marquez’ aggressiveness is great for the sport.
