Brad Binder! What a guy, and what a ride!!

Have always been exciting to watch this guy in Moto3 and Moto2. Was sure that he would take the fight to premier class too. But didn't expect it happen this soon... Congrats to him and KTM for their respective maiden victory in premier class. With him in fray, MotoGP would be more fun for sure.

Franco and Zarco, who made podiums, deserved their places too. Pol could have made it had he been a bit calmer. He had the pace, but it wasn't to be in this race. Maybe Austria would bring him cheer.

Rins is somebody who doesn't hesitate to put his bike where he wants; made thru' the field and was so close to the podium. Guess he arrived behind Zarco one lap too late.

Another solid ride by VR46; from 10th to 5th by the flag. With Mav and Fabio fading as they did, can't help but wonder: why so much inconsistency between the Yamahas?

It won't be wrong to say KTM have arrived to the party well and truly, would it?

Its official! Portimao will be hosting the 14th and final round of 2020 MotoGP season.


I loved watching the race highlights from wsbk. Hoping this track will provide action to remember in MotoGP.

Where are you guys watching the races, though? I can't find it on Sony, and have to go through the hassle of finding a live stream every week.

MotoGP is on Eurosport HD, available in Tata Sky at 495.

All these subscriptions, and nowhere to watch!

Last resort is to take the MotoGP video pass, something tells me you won't be pleased with that either.

That leaves praying to Google matha I guess.

Dovi is out of Ducati camp at the end of this year. Whether he retires or joins Aprilia, is the one to see.
Ducati has plenty of options, Pecco, Jorge, Johan ! Whom will they choose?

Which mobile service provider are you using? Eurosport HD is available on vodafone play also. I think even airtel has it. I don't understand which subscription you are taking about, you don't need to pay extra to use the app of your service provider.

About Ducati though. If their only championship winner Casey Stoner says they need to listen to the riders, then you know Ducati doesn't treat its riders right. They let Lorenzo go even when he had won three races for Ducati. They signed Jack Miller who has won no races but let go of Dovizioso. Just to remind you, the only riders who took the championship fight with Marc to last race of the season are Dovi and Lorenzo and Ducati lost both of them to pay cuts.

I have Airtel, and my subscriptions are for hotstar to watch f1, and used to be Sony for motogp. Now I have to fish for bt sports on Thoptv, which is not really the best experience, though it solves the problem in HD.
I don't have any dth got the past few years, and was happy till last year as far as motogp is concerned.

Not wanting to be stubborn, but I need this clarification. Do you mean Airtel Thanks App does not have free live tv for Airtel users, or it does not have Eurosports channel?
I have used something like the Thoptv (don't remember the exact name of the app) in past but the experience wasn't smooth so I been watching JioTV since I got to know about it.


The DTH is irrelevant in the modern entertainment scenario. Free or paid, all the entertainment is available on mobile whether its news or movies. IMHO for a bigger screen experience one should buy a projector or monitor compatible with both mobile (using screen cast) and laptops, and forget about DTH subscription.

See? nothing. Yes, it has live channels, but not Eurosport. Anyhow, I think I'll manage with that other app only for now.

So true, it's not just Stoner too, a couple of weeks back Rossi had the same to say albeit in a very diplomatic way and I'm paraphrasing here "Ducatis relationship with their riders have been difficult". It is such a shame.

Even in this case, Ducati has been pushing Dovi around for quite some time. When Lorenzo decided to come to Ducati they kicked out Innaone and asked Dovi to take a pay cut to afford(yeah right, with huge title sponsors and a company like Ducati that has Audi support) Lorenzo's monster paycheck.

Then once the Lorenzo thing did not work out for them the first year, they were quick to drop him, and in this case without even giving Lorenzo what he wanted to ride the bike 100% then they regret the decision the end of the second year.

Now again with Dovi, they went into a who blinks first contest with Dovi and the utter disrespect they showed by saying they will decide Dovi's future after the Ring races and race results won't be a deciding factor.

I mean as much as watching Dovi not having a seat prospect is sad, I must say I was happy that he beat Ducati to the punch.

Let's see if they are wise enough in filling that empty seat there.
