Wanker was avoiding that all day as can't watch until Monday night highlights.

I know this is a bike forum but I didn't access the track section directly.

Just watched it. Good to see Dani and Lorenzo up front. Marquez must be disappointed but he's battled with a couple of tough riders.

Good to see Iannone racing Marquez as hard as Marquez races others.

I avoided the internet before watching the race.

All of the motorbike forums, twitter, Skynews, BBC News, Facebook etc all had the results posted up. Even if we kill the feed I can't stop people posting a thread about the race.

I did the same. However, got back late last night and unsuspectingly put BBC3 on for American Dad.

Fogetting about those pesky 60-second news updates.


It seems the world does not want us to watch it if it's not live!

I think its impossible to avoid seeing sports results these days. We are having information chucked at us from all angles.

Yep I've given up trying, and now try harder to watch stuff live. Even music radio stations broadcast the the results these days.

We should arrange some pub meets and watch the racing live.

I watched the race last night as BT too forever to get the video up. If I know I won't get to see the race live then I join the tankslap group that hides the racing section completely, even from tapatalk. I managed to get to yesterday evening without knowing the result, and I'm glad I did.

That was a cracking race, As Duke said, it was great to see Marquez and Iannone going at it and swapping a bit of paint, this is what motogp has been missing for a while IMO. I reckon there will be a few more riders with a bit more confidence going into the next round now, I'd still put money on Marquez for the championship but I don't think he's going to get it all his own way.
