Catalunya Motogp - Spoliers alert

Post by duke63 »

What another fantastic race.

Riders taking the fight to each other all through the race and then having a laugh and joke about if afterwards. Really really impressive stuff.

More please.

It was.

Rossi was sparkling and Danni pushed hard too. Poor Jorge couldn't really keep up sadly.

Lost my Sky+ but watched it on ITV CatchUp and glad I did

I normally fast forward through most of it but found myself rewinding some of it

That paint on the kerb was weird but the Rossi slowmo was schuperb

Just watched the race on BT video, now thats what MotoGP should be about. IMO that was proper racing, nothing silly but with good firm overtakes.

I feel for Dani, had he not touched then I reckon he had it. Absolutely fantastic to see Rossi back up at the sharp end again and if lorenzo can get it together at the end of the race then the rest of this season is going to be electric.

Also, shout out for Bradl, good solid ride with him, he was keeping pace with the front group for a decent distance into the race. Good ride..

I do which BT would let their video coverage roll for a few minutes longer though. The coverage ends as soon as the race does so you don't even see the cool down lap.

I'm not happy with BT sport, hope they lose it to be honest. The Beeb wasn't great but at least they didn't show you the results when you opened iPlayer and put they replay on fairly sharpish.

I'd probably feel different about them if I could record it and watch it on the same day though.

It is annoying that you have to wait over a day for the video to go live, but if you use this link >> http://sport.bt.com/motogp-on-demand-01398819344494" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; << they have the races with no results or other spoilers..
