Don't think they saw the rivers of water or bikes aquaplaning either. Very disappointing after Silverstone. Plus there were the FP4 crashes at Sepang when it started raining.

Riders have been injured in the rain this year, one badly. I really hope we don't need a Jules Bianchi type incident for Race Control to sort their shit out.

Dorna do.

I agree with you in principle, but if all the good seats are always filled by Spaniards and Italians how can we be sure we are seeing the best riders?

Looking at the 2019 factory motogp seats you have all but 1 with an Italian or Spanish bum resting on it. Having some talent coming though thats from a different part of the world should be good.
That said Scott Redding was once the youngest ever gp winner till he grew, so lets hope these youngsters don't end up too big.

The only reason that Dorna give a fuck, is that viewer numbers go down when more nationalities aren't represented.

You can be damn sure that we're seeing the best riders in the world, because that's what the teams are trying to find. They look everywhere.

The French government sponsored that tard DePunet for ages.

The problem was real and even Dorna were concerned about the Spanish dominance. An international series needs to be umm international(?).

I do get what you are saying, but Scott Redding was actually the youngest ever GP winner until last weekend. Sorta sad that he will be the youngest GP winner in BSB.

Sorry I had a huge head ache last night and actually was in bed at 2030 when I posted that lol.
You got the gist anyways!

Scott Redding was the youngest GP winner till last weekend, was hailed to be the next thing and may very well have become that if he didn't grow to be a giant. So lets hope this Oncu chap doesn't do the same

It's quite possible that Can Oncu will grow too big as he's already 5'6" at age 15, but his twin brother (fraternal) Deniz Oncu is fooking tiny. He's looking like another Dani Pedrossa in a few years.

My younger brother is 6'1" and 82kgs at 15. I won't be urging him to pursue bike racing lol

My son is 2 meters and 120 KG. Shall I break the news that his MotoGP dream is over?

The fuck did you feed him???

Don't worry I am sure he is sick of everyone asking him if he plays basketball or "how is the weather up there" to care

Dorna have a Black Friday special: access to their video content throughout the pre-season testing for 1 Euro.

If it is only for Friday Spanish time there are only a few hours to be in.

**Dadpole** · 24th November 2018, 08:53

Colour me subscribed. At one Euro, not even a tightarse like me can resist. I will see how good the feed is at my rural hideout and decide if I will pull the pin on the full package.
