Pramac Ducati have launched their 2016 livery. The bike looks fantastic. Pramac's Photoshop skills; less so. Check out the amazing job they did on the fake reflections!

Servus TV will broadcast MotoGP for 3 years. They will encrypt the signal outside Austria, not sure if they mean cable signal only or also on satellite. Hope the Satellite feed will stay FTA.

Interested to see how Redding does on the Ducati, expected him to be far more competitive than he has been especially in 2015. Misano aside his season was crap, and now he's decided to jump from Honda (prob still best bike, by a small margin) onto a Duke good luck to him, but I fear he is not long for MotoGP......
Weird as all thru careers I would have said he was much better than Smith, but Brad is getting the job done!

Redding did well in 2015 considering he was on a new bike and in a team that was new to the top class. I think he's made the wrong move going to Pramac, I see it as a step backwards as Pramac underwhelm year after year. Now with the rules adjustment for all Ducati bikes in 2016 I don't expect to see them as competitive as they were in 2015. I wait to be proved wrong though.

Lorenzo a second clear of the field in 1st Day testing @ Sepang....
Guessing Michelin must have got the front's sorted then, looking forward to seeing Stoner on track with them tomorrow, get a feeling we may witness something a bit special.

Massive crash for Baz in testing, he walked away. Some talk of a tyre failure.

Definitely looks like a tyre failure. Huge fall, he's very lucky.

That is so scary, glad he's doing well. It reminds me of Nakano's crash at Mugello in 2004 when his rear tyre failed at 200mph

I wonder what caused the failure? Debris possibly and it was a Michelin soft compound.
