MotoGP 2016

Thought MM comments after were pretty awesome too. Blame the arm? No, Blame the fact Honda did not test? no again.
Was not a MM fan last year, but this years model is very impressive both on and off the track.

They boy's grown up a lot hasn't he. Many more titles will come his way. Barring serious injury or burnout, think we'll be seeing Rossi's number of titles eclipsed.

Always funny to me, when I see little fellas stomping around looking angry.

I don't think it has much to do with the size of the bloke. Yesterday evening I was watching a replay of the Olympic 85kg men's weightlifting (yeah, I know, but the MotoGP hadn't started yet). One of the contestants failed a couple of lifts and ended up with a lower total than he wanted. On the way back through the tunnel he kicked his belt 5m and generally acted pissed off. It reminded me of my four-year-old grandson the other day when he found his potato chips were broken. And in both cases, I felt like saying, "Look, mate, we see that you're upset about something and it really matters to you, but it doesn't matter to me all that much, so just keep it to yourself, eh." I didn't have an opportunity to say this to the 85kg weightlifter in Rio, and I didn't say it to my grandson...I just let his father fuss over his hurt feelings and groaned inwardly. (Sometimes you just have to keep quiet.)

Tantrums? I'm over them, whoever throws them.

Awesome racing, track was quite good in bringing the riders together for battles, how good is that Binder this year?

Was gutted for Dovi not to get the win, I think his bike may have swapped maps at the end to save fuel as he was massively slower than Joe in the first sectors but made it back up on the bends. Good riding by both of them, shame Rossi couldn't get near enough to have a crack at George, but that's racing.

Dani's team need to do something ASAP to get heat into his tyres, once they are warm he's as quick as anyone, it's just taking too damn long.
How's he supposed to put in a rocket quali lap if his tyres aren't up to temp?

Overall a good GP, lets hope they do some work on the run offs over the year to make it safer.

Could always add ballast to get him and bike up to the weight of the others...

I was thinking that meself lol, slip some heavier body armour in his leathers. Either that or lower the minimum tyre pressure they are allowed to run. Seems the 60-70kg mark is the perfect balance between power/weight n maintaining tyre temp

Nah. Don't want to be spooning a tyre off a rim. Think Spies did a few years back on his R1?

The beauty of being a Grandad huh ? I bite my lip a lot,different generation I guess.
But you do get to give them back !!!

Moto3 delivers again. ��

Does anyone else's live feed fuck out and go to shit quality in the last few laps of moto3 every week? I'm on fibre and can still stream HD YouTube properly.

Fucking sick of it,almost so bad you can't see who's who

Yep, mine turned to shit too. But I'm on Vodafone Mobile.....Seems that moto3 is the worst of the 3 races but it slowly improves the latter it gets. I put it down to too many users on line & as parents & brats go nonnighs, it lightens the load on the system.
I know that when they went 3g with the networks that they didn't realise that so many people would be streaming content .Supposedly the usage exceeds the design parameters.

Great racing though....I watched moto2 & 3 last night, both were prone to stalling or jerky coverage. Watched Motogp this arvo & it was crystal clear....

There were a couple of exploding tyres last year you'll recall: seem to recall a photo of Haydens bruised back, Scott Redding might have been another? A new minimum tyre pressure rule was introduced IIRC.

Yea I'm starting to think that it is a problem at their end, a year or two ago it definitely was. Something to do with it bouncing through an Aussie server, lots of people moaning online. (The American rounds have always been a bit shit for me, or its their camera gear over there).

Seeing how I can get my 28-30mb/s down and 9-10mb/s up speeds and still stream youtube in HD I am pretty certain it is not at my end. Can stream all the races no problem at any other time after the fact as well. Made me wonder if theres something about the times in europe etc where people are logging in to the end of Moto3, Aussie it would be around 8 O'clock local time... Anyway Just got to persist with it....

Bring on next round!

Oh and I called Crazy Joe first so (even though I fucked the rest up)
Jorge surprised me, actually felt good for him, which is weird coz i'm not exactly a fan.

You guys having streaming issues should try an ethernet cable just to rule out your WIFI.

I'm not sure about the speed being related to how many people are online, although you'd think that was the case.

I did a speed test latish last night, after the little buggers had gone to bed, fastest ever 93mbps. Earlier this evening I did a test and it was only 83. Have just done one at 11.00PM and it was 79. Unless the kids all stayed up late just to piss me off, the little buggers should be fast asleep.

I started watching the MotoGP race (feed from MotoGP.com) using Chromecast via wifi. The TV would hang up and pixilate while the Laptop played perfectly. I disconnected Chromecast and used an HDMI cable to connect laptop to TV. Perfect.

Sky is your friend,you pays your money !

As I said before,biggest negative for me is the commentators.
Coverage is great tho,thanks SKY.
By the way I thought the Moto3 race the best of the lot in Austria.

Roll on Brno !!!!!

[EJK]

OK so moving on to Czech... Tonnes of smooth 6/8 left right corners. Oh, it's got Lorenzo's name written all over it!

I'm going blind on this one. If dry...
1. JL
2. VR
3. MM

Hoping to see good battle among the three, unless Lorenzo starts from pole and wins the race by himself (boring!).
