Done deal, assuming it's not some weird April Fools joke.

So what will change? I can't really form any opinion as I haven't watched MotoGP since Mika Kallio's winning days in 250cc. But can't see how Liberty Media can further ruin MotoGP, since it has already adopted sprint races.

I hope no more clashes with f1, alternate between an f1 and motogp weekend. Then I might watch more motogp races again. Only watch a few every season, used to try and watch them all some years ago. Now just as f1 it's too much work to watch them all.

I guess they'll not put tied in events because even though MotoGP could've been better, is still providing a better product than F1

but expect them raising the fees of classic tracks like Assen, and inflating the schedule racing at Abu Dhabi or any Mickey Mouse track at your option

I know it wouldn't happen, but part of me is hoping this opens the door for a F1/MotoGP double header at a race some day.

Hopefully there aren't 4 Spanish races next year

Perhaps a double header with a night race at Sepang

6 races in the US instead

Although MotoGP at Road America, even with the chicane, will be mad.

That would give them the incentive to widen the front straight and fix the pit exit

Liberty has admitted that this is not yet not happening.

for Liberty makes more sense have races no clashing with F1, which means they could have more audience

I hope they could bundle F1 and MotoGP on F1TV for a good price

Or give F1TV and Videopass to each current account holder of either at the same cost.

Fabio stays with Yamaha for 2 more years https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/10464 ... ing-yamaha

I guess his options for another competitive seat were pretty slim, there are only so many Ducatis on the grid. Thought there was half a chance of Aleix retiring and Fabio moving to Aprilia.

Sprint race:
top 5: yawn
6th and behind: Moto 3 race!

Acosta is doing a superb job so far

At this rate Acosta is going to get a win on the Gasgas before any factory KTM rider does. Forget about Miller, Binder should be worried that he will soon be playing second fiddle.

That was a great race to me. Really fun to watch. Acosta is the real deal. Marquez was pushing as hard as he could, which was just too hard. Bastanini was real good in tire conservation. Vinales was superb... Lousy start not withstanding.

He had a brake problem apparently
