    The tyre pressure rules are for safety, and exist in many motorsport categories for the same reason.

    MotoGP may have tried to be too clever by setting minimum pressures during the race, but it appears that after a revision, most teams, apart from Ducati, are able to comply now.

    Imagine if the got so soft that they deformed so badly under huge stress braking that they de-beaded.

    Dooclattery are so far ahead the constraints vs concessions give other factories the incentive to continue, rather than pull out like Suzuki did.

    Hi All
    Been away for a month freedom camping in the race trailer/camper I built, in the South Island, so had to have a big catchup.
    Downloaded all the MotoGp Races via reddit MotoGp thread and associated links and had a crash course on the first 3 meetings.
    Few hours watching while the next meeting downloaded and it was done and dusted.

    Only to discover 3Now has all the races again this year after an ad popped up, go figure, always learn after, never before Bugger

    For the first time I felt a little same old, same old, with the Marquez boys repeating their finishes on multiple occasions.
    MM crashing in the last one was the only exciting bit (not that I watch the races for crashes).

    Might try and watch a bit of our Kiwi lad in Moto3 if I get time.

    Now that 3now has it and I didn't subscribe for the first 3 races. I might do last years exercise and either watch live or download now I have a superfast USB drive I can take from the computer to the TV.

    Looks like its all Ducati again this year with KTM all at sea and Yamaha and Honda trying hard but not quite there yet.
    See what this weekend brings

    Looks like both Qatar MotoGP races are on Sunday Monday 5am our time wonder how quick 3now wil have them up????

    3Now seem like they are a week late...

    Motomundo is being continually DDOS'd at the moment, and my rugby go to rubu.tv (free for 2 days using unverified credentials) is not working either.. woe is me.

    Oh, that's not good. I'll see what's out there at the weekend.

    Following on from breif discussion above re the number of rules. This is actually WSBK but i cant find a current thread. Is there one? Anyway Ducati and BMW have had a fuel flow limit imposed on them. Apparently there is a MSMA (Motorcycle Superbike Manufacturers Association) algorithm and both Ducati and BMW have to reduce their fuel flow rate by 0.5 kg/hr.That seems a lot to me but who knows. If the burn rate is 100kg an hour its not so bad. There appears to be some kind of measuring device or limiting device on each bike

    One litre of petrol is about 0.75 kg, so maybe 0.4 l in a 40 min. race?

    I was able to download the pre-event press conference from the GoFile link, but trying to download P1 didn't work this morning as the connection limit had been exceeded. That often happens at this time of day as it's evening in Europe, so I'll try later.

    So looks normal to me.

    I download the videos as that works better for casting with my TV setup.

    I Downloaded FP1 off the go file and watched it now downloading Practice.
    I started to download practice this moning it was coming down @ 900 KB/s then I bailed on it because wanted to try the Watch online version casting from my phone.
    I discovered it runs fine on the phone or computer but it will not cast to any TV we have here finds the TV but does want to load.
    Now re downloading Practice now @ 500 KB/s about an hours worth for the 2.9 gig.

    I wish they would supply a torrent link they are much faster. Other than Motomundo I cant find any other links on Reddit Motorsport replays for the Qatar GP which is odd????

    Has anyone else had the casting Issue?

    Which device are you using to download? I downloaded practice on my phone in about 5 minutes, about 9 MB/s. We have 900 Mb fibre though. That speed seems fairly consistent, generally faster than OneDrive is at home.

    Mtotmundo seems to be the only option for MotoGP in the Motorsport Replays subreddit. I should make a donation as they are not doing all that on GoFile for free!

    I use VLC for playback and no problems casting to my ancient Chromecast, unlike Sky Go which fails regularly.

    I use my computer on fibre, then dump it on a USB stick (1m45 secs for 2.6gig), then plug the USB directly into the TV.
    Been out on the dirt bike all day so I just downloading Qually and the Sprint now.
    Should here by the time I've unloaded the dirt bike tho, so all good.

    Funny thing is if you download more than one it does seem to slow the others up so I got 3 going at once.

    Twas a god race, Fabio is lookin pretty pleased after today.

    Ominous words from AM, saying that today his brother was faster than him on the right handers, which he was surprised about.

    Same words his old Gresini chief said too

    Ominous perhaps for #63. I can excuse the crash but what on earth happened later and in the sprint? I didnt quite buy MMs ploy of saying he is not fast there. The VR46 boys are looking good now too.
    Wa interesting that in some behind the scenes stuff that the ducatis(MM and AM discussing) suffer from vibration too.Can see the fairings vibrating on all the bikes in the slo mo shots.

    That was the best race of the season so far MM strategy was spot on.
    Not his biggest fan but Feel for MV. AM was overriding a bit.
    Franco and VR 46 doing well Diggi didnt deserve that.
    Over all good to see some competition

    The bonus was race was at 5am NZ time, not sure when it first arrived but it was up on the 3now app by 8am so no downloading =
