Good first race from Qatar. Blanket covered the leading 5. Dovizioso, Marquez, Crutchlow (GB under the weather), Rossi from 14th on the grid to 5! This was shown on ITV4 last year (highlights), now switched to Quest, unless you have BTsport and want to see the whole thing  |

Forgot about it, didn't worry as I would catch it on catch up
(Qatar not my favourite anyway)
Ah.
No I won't
Started years ago with Toby and Dennis on Eurosport Analogue, switched to paying until they diddled me on the monthly subs and there was no way to get my dough back.
Followed to BBC with the commentary turned down and sometimes off
C4
C5
Not paying for BT sport. Maybe I give up now.
Is it on Quest Freeview but not any catch up ?

Quest is Freeview. I don't think there is an online catch-up service.
There is a Quest+1 though.
I just let the Digi box record the who whole series.
Yeah, Eurosport days and Mike Doohan years.
Quite liked the Aussie git and Steve Parrish commentary on BBC, while it lasted.

I've been on the edge with MotoGp for a few years. Not what it used to be. Think the first race I stumbled on was a Mick Doohan win. Watched a little Italian bloke work his way up from 125 to the top Toby and Dennis commentating sealed it |

Added Superbikes to this too.
I watched the first World superbikes race last week, great run from Bautista, enjoying seeing Rea not run away with it.
I'm watching the Thailand race now on Eurosport on demand at the moment.
Good racing..

Tried Superbikes a few times.
Seems 'off', sterile, slow compared to MotoGP
Bautista had a very long run in MotoGP and went well past his sell by date.

I look at Superbikes as GT cars. That's on big circuits.. British Superbikes at circuits like Caldwell, Oulton Park, Brands GP and Thruxton are just manic! Super fast and very close action usually! I've trackday'd / raced at those circuits they are ace. I remember seeing a British Superbike close up and some wit had written on the rear fairing in very shaky hand style "It's the voices that make me do it" |

Motogp, Marquez totally dominant last race.
Rossi did well, 2nd place, best result in a long time..

Marquez looks very strong.
Team mate Lorenzo not so. Learning the bike perhaps

It seems Lorenzo has lost the passion..

He may be unlearning the Ducatti.
Took him a while to get it to work but the (lack of) success agreement kicked in before that and he was gone as he showed how good he could be
Silly Ducatti. Bet Audi were really teed off
Rossi *never* got it to work of course.
Kiss of death for poor old Marco Melandri

Yeah few can really embrace the 'Duke' like Stoner did.

Stoner nailed it like no other
Loris Capirossi almost had it

Just caught up with World Superbikes on ITV4.
Alvaro Bautista peerless in Race 1 with a massive winning lead of World Superbikes in Aragon Spain.
Chas Davies can't get to grips with the Ducati in the same way as Bautista..
Jonathan Rea (last few years winner) was best of the rest..
Race two Bautista did the same thing. The Ducati's best of the field, the Kawasaki's after them but Rea got 2nd again in the end.
2019 Ducati / Bautista have certainly broken the Kawasaki / Rea dominance.
So 9 race wins from 9 race starts for Bautista!
