MotoGP 2024

No news on it, and they would have to pay for it instead of picking up the left overs from Spark, which was a paid service.

Doesnt look TVNZ+ has motogp this year, it hasnt been confirmed as yet so I expect it is back to torrents for me

Motogp, but I go to a mate who has it. I should really contribute some dollars but always buy the chippies and 3 of us take turns with the beer. Better watching it in a group I figure, but I only see big class races. Not that I have time to watch others anyways.

Same here me and my son used to go 1/2s, share the password and even watch on occasion on different Tv's but he went to the dark side with V8 supercars.
I also don't have time to follow any other class but MotoGP.

Ah well I guess it's pay the MotoGP man the $250.00. Prob pay last minute I gotta buy tyres for Classic festival and Motofest first

Thanks for the collective input team.

My son has no real interest in bikes. Or cars for that matter, much beyond Lightning McQueen.

I paid last year and looks like I will again, been sharing it with a few people around the place to get some more moneys worth. Hurts to pay that much though lol

Interesting Crash interview with Suppo:

Just saw an ad on Xitter for a Trackhouse MotoGP team. The bikes appear to be Aprilia. Trackhouse is the NASCAR team that gave SVG the winning car last year.

I must say, I'm enjoying making my way (slowly) through the Oxley Bom motogp podcasts. Cheers again.

Yeah that was announced end of last year when RNF exited.

Whatever you think of the livery, the lower fork shrouds are a new one on me. First time I've seen a "downforce generating" piece on lower fork legs.
Looks part wing, part air guide onto the rad.
Two points occur : How much extra steering effort will it need at speed ? And given the front tyre overheating in the draft already seen, how long before it's cut off ? Looks to me like something developed in the wind tunnel but not yet track tested.

Any word on the NZ broadcaster for Motogp this year?

That could be a very shrewd observation. Are we seeing the development of Qualifying Aero? Perhaps to be removed for the race?

Good example of how to make an Italian bike ugly. It's hard, but if you try, well achievable.

Aprilia was running it last year too on the factory bikes at least.

Thanks - I hadn't seen that. Interesting then that - afaik anyway - no-one else has copied it.

Ducati have shown the 2024 bike with a smaller version of it, whether they run it or not I guess we will have to wait to see.
