[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1080472, member: 74121"] I thought I'd break my old record for thread necromancy by dusting off this 16 year old thread to talk about MotoGP. I said the NFL may be entering a golden age and the same is true of MotoGP. We seem to be moving away from old, declining or overrated talents from the Italian and Spanish mafia monopolising all the best rides, possibly because there is no longer any best rides due to how competitive it is. 6 competitive manufacturers 7+ competitive teams 8 unique race winners last year 10+ possible championship contenders A solid opening race in Qatar at the weekend saw a returning injured multi-champ, versus an independent team headed by the widow of the owner (who died with Covid), versus a South African outsider on a outsider manufacturer versus a pair of Spanish brothers looking to get on the same podium on different bikes. The race wasn't sensational but with how competitive the field is this should be a snorter of a season. It is definitely worth anyone curious checking out. This is what top end motorsport should be aspiring to. In the UK its live on BT Sport with extended highlights on ITV4, although there are only British riders in the lower classes at the moment.
