Agree with both.

Look where AMA racing has got to in USA since promoters took over and I wonder about GP racing. Why did the FIM and the manufacturers ever lose control of the series to promoters? No doubt money but wonder if they have regrets now?

Up until very recently, Dorna could not afford to go head to head with Honda.
Honda pretty much called the shots, or they'd take their toys and go home.
Times have changed apparently and karma is a bitch.

I agree that Honda for too long called the shots (or so it seemed)...but I doubt you'd want them to fuck right off out of the catagory...as they'd likely influence Yamaha etc too.

I seriously do not think that Honda would pull out, way to much pride involved

That pisses me off. The 2 biggest markets for MotoGP are no longer available free to air, which is farken suicide. How the hell do sponsors get exposure if you're limiting the audience to a select group. It's farken insane.

Nothing can really be taken from that test in trems of bike speed and lap times as they were all using such different tyres at different times, and the weather change was huge.
