MotoGP 2015

MotoGP Videopass is fine on my end of things. Running 720p since WUP.

Im in Welly, with Snap internet on naked VDSL

I've pegged it back to 360p, seemed to stop the skipping, probably it jumping between qualities. Option 2 for video feed just doesn't work at all.

We are with NOW broadband, waiting for the fibre they've laid to be hooked up at the end of the month. Hopefully I don't break anything before then...

...my woes on it all are over...I grab it the next morning and watch it when I get home...I work on my own which makes it easier, no one to spill the beans and National Radio are a pretty safe bet on hearing nothing also...takes the late hours and stressing about it out of frame...

Quatararo (SPL?) that last corner was a tad scary.

[speights_bud]

That could have ended very badly.
Binder did well, played the points game and won.


I bet the fucker who designed that corner laughs his head off every time.

What would you suggest when a few tenths can mean a couple of grid spots ?

Message to the rider in front doing the moaning : if it pisses you off, pull away !

On that bike? I think he should try growing a pair and set his own time. He's with the big boys now.

What a pathetic fucking attitude.

Different riders feel differently about the tows. Stoner used to piss and moan and call Barbera and co "caravans". Marquez will actually offer the Ducati riders and others a tow so as to put them between himself and Lorenzo, Rossi & Pedro on the grid.

FFS, I can stream YouTube in HD, but the Gp will barely run.

Speed test is good (11mb/s down, 22ping), I can even pull YT in HD while the Gp is on (well trying). It's got to be at Dorna's end.

Been having problems with it the last few weeks, used to watch in 720p, no problems, same hardware, same connection.

Also noticed lots of skipping backward a second or 2 in the video feed. Not just watching live either.

I watch WorldSBK, and it probably uses the same system knowing how much the rest of the two brands share. I started off being able to watch it no problems. Now I pretty much can't watch it in the evening after 7pm.

In worldsbk case, they use a CDN network owned by Level 3. Level 3 has a video node in Sydney - but it gets broadcast out of the US. I tried raising a ticket with them, but got nothing sensible back. To use the CDN (and other AsiaPac) nodes the customer has to pay to enable the region. I'm guessing Dorna has not done this, hence why our video has to get supplied from the US, and why we have trouble watching it at peak times.

I just read that Geoff Duke passed away in the last few hours. 6 times World Champ. a few wins on the Island. RIP Geoff.

I doubt anybody here would have even heard of him...
Made it to 92
We lost Derek Minter (83 years young ) a couple of months ago as well
great blokes

Yeah bro he has the video store

Hey you kids get off my lawn.

Speak for yourself. He was before my time, but not by much.

When men were men and could even start their own bike - if they were lucky...

Followed his exploits in the British mags. He was the master in his era by whom the others were measured. Like Ago, KR and now MM. Wonder what he thought of the latter's style? GD was in perfect symmetry with the bike. Call me old fashioned but I think that is still 'poetry in motion'.

Iannone engaged the "wet map" instead of launch control on the start line These machines may be getting too complicated. Seems like every race somebody screws it up. Crutchlow managed to punch a button twice instead of once and had some issues.

Pol's major achievement was to hold up fellow Yamaha rider Rossi just enough to ruin his race and spoil what might have been another entertaining battle with MM. Thanks muchly.

Redding must be in despair. Lost in the setup wilderness.

Shame both Ducati's scored electronic own goals. Would have been much more entertaining race with them running in the top five or six.

Jorge crushingly on it.
