The provisional schedule is normally released in late-September or early-October. |
WOW!!! Big news ... Honda is switching back to their 2014 championship chassis. 2014 chassis + 2015 swingarm + 2015 Honda V4 motor + new exhaust and electronics = contention? If the comfortable 2014 chassis helps great ... I think some of Marquez's crashes were rider error this year ... but if a more comfortable chassis that he is more confident on helps than awesome ... will be great to see another contender this year.... |

Noir - I totally agree. It would not only require a remarkable run by Marquez but a catastrophic collapse by Rossi and Lorenzo, which isn't going to happen. |
GREAT RACE IN HOLLAND TODAY!!! Wicked battle between Rossi & Marquez literally right until the very LAST second!!! See here : MotoGP News - MotoGP Assen: Race Director talks Rossi, Marquez incident http://media.crash.net/original/PA1731434.0008.jpg |

Some exciting news! MotoGP News - 2.2 million lease price among MotoGP 2017 announcements Amongst the tidbits : From 2017 there will be six manufacturers participating in MotoGP: Aprilia, Ducati, Honda, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha. |

Don't forget ... Sunday's MotoGP race (Germany) is the last for a month as they take their summer break! |
Lets see if MM can keep his winning streak in Germany alive he hasn't lost a race since 2009. 125cc class in 2010 Moto2 in 2011 and 2012 MotoGP victories for the last two seasons. Recap of last years race Skip to 1:58 to see the weird start with majority of the bikes starting from the pit lane. |
Wow - what a track! First time I have watched an event from Germany. Thoughts : -incredibly short, small, tight track... very technical (but lots of runoff) at Sachsenring. -7 left hand turns ... almost entirely left hand turns!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachsenring https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ung%29.svg.png -lots of discussion on BT Sport before the race about the special tires constructed for this event that had softer right shoulders to compensate for the fact that due to the lack of right turns the right side of the tires get very cold and tend to wash out when they do get used... -Marquez's Honda looks great - on the surface, reverting to the 2014 chassis might have been the best thing that they could have done! Commentator's caution though that this track has always suited the Honda and not to read too much into Marquez's dominant performance.... -92k in attendance ... another huge crowd -Honda 1-2 finish -Rossi finishes third and increases his lead on Lorenzo, who finished fourth |
Race Finish 1 - Marquez 2 - Pedrosa 3 - Rossi 4 - Lorenzo 5 - Iannone Current Standings 1 - Valentina Rossi - 179 pts 2 - Jorge Lorenzo - 166 pts 3 - Andrea Iannone - 118 pts 4 - Marc Marquez - 114 pts 5 - Andrea Dovizioso - 87 pts |

Nice to see the Honda's take 1st and 2nd, hopefully this race helped Pedrosa's confidence |
New frame same engine if I remember correctly |
Great video - thanks for sharing. The summer break is over next week! Back in the US at Indy. I'm very excited. |
MotoGP will be fun race, but will it be last for IMS? Very interesting video...... the parallels between F1 in the US and MotoGP are growing ... for a sport to thrive in the US (not really unlike anywhere else), you need domestic stars. You don't get TV deals, sponsorship dollars, or a broader spectrum of fans attending without domestic contenders. |
Hey everybody! Apologies for the late update - was away on business. :) MotoGP: Marquez remains undefeated in America with thrilling Indy GP victory | FOX Sports Marc Marquez dominates in US... |

Czech Republic GP tomorrow!!! Czech Republic MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo grabs pole at Brno | Zee News Lorenzo on pole. Great qualifying for Rossi ... something that has hampered him all year. |
Well ... Rossi wasn't able to convert that great qualifying position into a win. He had a tough start and had to battle to put himself into a position that would enable him to chase Marquez and Lorenzo but by the time he got himself into third position he was already 5 seconds behind Marquez. The event lacked a ton of drama and not surprisingly it finished Lorenzo, Marquez and Rossi.... Rossi : "If I'm going to win the championship ... I'v got to win races..." With Marquez looking like Marquez since switching back to the 2014 chassis and with Lorenzo looking dominant, it looks more and more like the championship is slipping away from Rossi. |
