chrisolson Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The final combined test rankings in Qatar has some interesting results. And yes, testing is not a real race and the experienced riders still have an edge going the distance. However there may be some new contenders for the podium in Rins and Quartareo with Miller, Bagnaia, Rabat and Morbidelli adding to the mix . Should be a great season starting on March 10 !! Maverick VIÑALES Fabio QUARTARARO Alex RINS Marc MARQUEZ Valentino ROSSI Jorge LORENZO Franco MORBIDELLI Pol ESPARGARO Takaaki NAKAGAMI Danilo PETRUCCI Jack MILLER Joan MIR Francesco BAGNAIA Aleix ESPARGARO Andrea DOVIZIOSO Tito RABAT Cal CRUTCHLOW Andrea IANNONE Johann ZARCO Miguel OLIVEIRA Karel ABRAHAM Bradley SMITH Hafizh SYAHRIN Link to comment
Skywagon Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 cant wait...will be at MotoGP in Austin in April. Don't think anybody would be wise to bet against Marquez. Last year in Austin they were selling shirts that said anybody but 93 Link to comment
Antimatter Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The big question mark (or Marc) is Mr. Marquez's shoulder. If he has to turn the dial down a bit to avoid crashing on it, that will be a big obstacle to overcome for his next championship. Link to comment
Whip Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Nice to see the Yammies being competitive....so far Link to comment
Skywagon Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 on a hunch, I'm going to bet Dovi doesn't finish down there either. Supposedly the Duc's found more speed for this year. That would be amazing. Miller won't be able to stay on his steed long enough to finish that high. Link to comment
Yeeha Stephen Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I'm anxious to see (hear) the new Triumph triples in Moto2. In Moto1 the silly season seat switching will be fun watching as well as the new bike upgrades. Link to comment

gordiet Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I’ve been searching for what channel the Moto GP races are being shown. No luck...anyone know? GT Link to comment

GT I think they're still on BeIN Sports in the US, a channel that's included in hardly anyone's cable package. I know that for DirecTV, I'd have to subscribe to their very top-priced package to get it, along with a whole slew of other channels I'd never watch. So I broke down this year and bought the viewing package at MotoGP.com and will watch on a connected device. Link to comment
Antimatter Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 If you don't have access on your regular TV, the pay-online version is supposed to be really good. It's not cheap, though. Link to comment
walton66 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 This will be my third season watching via the MotoGP app on my iPad streamed to my big screen. I really enjoy he build up of practice, qualifying, and then the race on Sunday mornings. If I’m riding can watch it later. Link to comment

I think they said if you added up the finishing gaps between first and second place for all three races, it only came to a tenth of a second! But I think it's funny that they still have umbrella girls on the grid for night races. Not that I mind, of course. Link to comment
joeb Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Great race. Six or seven could realistically vie for the title. . Just subscribed to motogp.com. Think it will be a good way to view thru the season although it will take me a while to figure how to utilize the features of the app. As for the cost I've noticed that since it depends on the rate of exchange you may pay more one day than another. I paid $157 and noticed that it was $ 125 the next day. Link to comment
Skywagon Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 and the rate is always cheaper in the summer.... Link to comment
