Highlights on C5, Wednesday!

I'll bet that you can find Moto3,2 and GP races on torrents within 4or 5 hours of the races finishing.

I can watch it live too! Frustratingly unrealiable though

Please assist/advise. PM if you'd rather, I really like the Moto3 (John McPhee fan) and C5 only gives you start and last 100 yards....
thanks

I might be mistaken but Rossi is the last 500cc and 990 World Champion still compeating on the grid.

Is he not the only ever 500 and 990 champ?

Never thought of that, I'm slipping.

Dodgy stream messed up as the sites are overloaded at 3pm.

So couldn't watch any of the GP stuff.

Damn annoying

I think Marquez was held up by Rins on that last lap but either way it was a great result for Zarco.

So where will Zarco be next year?
Factory KTM, not looking to quick or reliable so far this year,
Stay at Tech 3, KTM see above.
Yamaha, only a new satellite team as the factory riders are contracted to 2020.
Pramac Ducati, Suzuki and Aprilia all have potential vacancies
Or Repsol Honda, the big money move?

What are you asking about, streams or torrents ?

There's an easy way to solve this if you are in the UK, pay for BT Sport

Dunno if this is any use to anyone, but you can get BT Sport for £5 a month if your phone provider is EE.

Is Dorna not contractually obliged to supply only 24 bikes until 2020? Therefore if tech 3 run KTMs next year, there are no slots left for a Yamaha or Suzuki satellite team. Or will Dorna conveniently forget this when Rossi comes knocking? Or (more likely) will the VR46 team just come up in 2020 when Dorna re-negotiates and ups the grid size to 26 or 28?

I can see this being a season of multiple winners again. Interesting to see Zarco is on the 2016 chassis.

agreed, i can see it being the best season in a very long time. going to be very hard racing for anyone to establish dominance early doors. hopefully everyone stays healthy.

on another sad note, i only found out today ralf waldmann passed away last saturday . apologies if there has been a thread in here, i only pop in now and again. great racer, a bit unlucky like more than a few that never won a championship and a nice bloke the one time i met him in a bike shop in germany. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/motogp/...

I see VR not really getting the hang of qualifying again. He looses so much time back there. I remember a number of occasions where he was as fast as the front runners, but because he has to battle through from 8/10th on the grid he can only really manage third/fourth at the end.

He used to be able to get away with only showing up on race day , trouble is now you've got iannone / zarco who are more than up for a fight it's a bit harder for him to push his way thru to the front .

I know this thread has regularly turned into a commentator bashing session but I do miss Jules.

Moto3 Race was the usual great watch, only shame was the big battle was for third and not the lead.
