One of the most embarassing things I have ever had to read.

For me thats it a boycott of Dorna events in the future, no SBK or MotoGP (not that I went anyway as it now costs a fortune for very little)

They made the decision to move without clearly doing any sort of test, they went with the highest bidder as they always do with everything, and now if you buy a ticket to Silverstone, you are endorsing this shambles and also giving money to this shambolic organisation who also decided to take coverage of the sport away from FTA and put it onto a channel where hardly anyone watches it. And who played these two off against each other when one event was already having to charge a fortune to pull in enough money racefans to pay bernie and Ezpeleta for hosting rights.

Just boycott it, treat these people whow they deserve to be treated.

Another "here's my not surprised face..." Totally predictable what would happen.

When will rights holders/ Promoters ever learn? Selling to the highest bidder isn't the right way to go, selling TV rights to Pay TV isn't the way to go.

They all do it......

Just move the British MotoGP to a track in Spain....... That'll suit Dorna.....

Let's hope there's still a British MotoGP - Silverstone being the obvious ?
