Gentlemen...start your engines!!!

First practice session is about start in Qatar. I am super excited for all 3 categories this year.

I couldn't even begin to make any predictions, but I'm hoping Lowes wins Moto2, he's been looking strong in testing.

Are we allowed to mention free streams? Just asking

I’ve cancelled my bt sport as I didn’t feel it was worth £240 a year for motogp alone. And now it looks like there is no other way to watch it as uk tv doesn’t even have a highlights show this year!? Does it????

Is there a “first to put it in the gravel” sweepstake?

A Honda.
In testing last week, when it got dark, the Honda's all ended up in the gravel. Nakagami apparently had a very big one, was very shaken up by it.

I haven't watched MotoGP for a few years now. I was happy to pay £80/year to stream it from motogp.com but I'm not prepared to pay £170 for it. I can't be bothered with stealing it or getting a subsidised subscription from abroad, either. I'll just read the threads on here and the post-race reports smile

Massively curious to see how well Lorenzo does this year, though.

I have no shame. I’ll be watching a free stream.

Front end issues again, as well as the temperature dropping off when the sun goes down. All played into it.

It actually doesn't feel that long since Valencia, it's come around quicker than normal for me anyways.

I'm not a Lorenzo fan but I'm keen to see how he goes on the Honda and can give Marquez a run for his money. I really hope Ducati and Dovi can step up and finally bag a championship together.

I also hope Yamaha can get their act together and give Vale the tools to give him a fighting chance of a few wins at least.

Oh dear the Nigerian streams quality are so utterly ste, might have to skip watching this year as on footy days streaming will be utterly pointless. They literally last a few minutes before buffering even on small window, we live in hope.

Watched a bit of Moto3 between this, lots of teams pairing up to tow, instead of the nonsense of waiting like before

Aren’t Yamaha listening to vinales more now ? This isn’t going to suit Rossi

Dixon down at T1, looked like he's walking off despite a big high side.

If you can wait a couple of hours all races usually appear on torrent sites.

I havent really followed this since bt took it off eurosport, what 7+ years ago?
Catch the odd highlight on channel5 or whatever its on now & again.
On the plus side I have gained an enormous amount of time back on a race weekend.

This has definitely got to be the strongest collection of riders in a MotoGP grid I've seen. Should bode well for a mega season.

Rossi has just topped FP1. smile

That Duke looks so stable! Like an armchair and I live them pushing the aero stuff with the disk covers and rear wheel cooling duct

They are quite creative with the aero stuff for sure.

Good to see Jorge ahead of Marc in FP1. It's going to be a mega season.

I have read that the highlights are on channel 5.

I have looked at programmes for next week but cannot see it there.

Anyone know when it will air?
