So I’ve never really kept up with MotoGP other than knowing the most popular riders. How different are the bikes from a factory ride? Is it like nascar where there is pretty much nothing that is actually made by the manufacturer?

Brilliant racing this morning, Nagashima was outstanding to claim his Moto2 win he was just smashing lap times comming thru the pack very spectacular !
A fine race for Joe as well, he'll take in so much from being up at the front end of the race the whole way.

Moto3 was its usual manic self , 5 wide around corners sooo close racing.
Alberto Arenas did a fantastic job to win from John Mcphee - John will be kicking himself for not passing a few corners earlier and believing his Honda down the straight.

Austin round now "re-scheduled" for November 13-15th. This is just a mess.

Edit- Also Motoamerica may get pushed to November as well...

So long as there isnt any mass outbreaks , fingers crossed

It’ll be nice having a late GP season though. I’d be happy if they raced twice a month all year long!

Looks like Jerez in 3rd May for now.
I guess the thinking is Italy will be 'all clear' by then and the teams that are based there can travel...
