Looks like Zook have their team sewn up for the next few years. Mir signed through 2022

Good strategy by Ducati to not sign any of the young talents. :laughing Team Marlboro-but-not-really-but-OK-we-really-are-selling-cigarettes better get Bagnaia a decent bike and crew and keep Miller happy.

Mir was a pleasant surprise in terms of competitiveness.

Good for him.

I wonder how the contracts are working with these guys... if they are getting paid. Maybe I missed that or forgot that we discussed that.

I randomly turned on NBC Sports and they’re showing the Thai GP from last season. Did NBC pick up a broadcasting deal for MotoGP? Last I heard the only channel that plays races is BeIn?

Hey, if you happen to watch the whole thing, did you notice if they are cutting any of the race out? it was a concern about moving from bein to nbc.

MotoGP.com Andalusian government, Jerez council and Dorna Sports will make a proposal to the Spanish government to hold two MotoGP™ events in July


Press reports on Twitter say the proposed races would be held on consecutive weekends in late July with no spectators. I'm willing to stay six feet away from the TV to see some racing.

It will be good to see... hell I watched NASCAR over the weekend.
Seeing all the protocols they had in place was perhaps an indication of what we will see.

I would take a Zarco win over NASCRAP any day. :laughing
