You can get a live streaming season pass from the MotoGP website. Similar system as the MXGP and pretty much all the other sports in the world!

I haven't ever bought it because i have the channel that airs MotoGP in Finland.

Looks like it starts at 1200 (don't know what time zone) here in usa on beIN sports. For me that's channel 1709 on Cox. Of course I don't have that subscription package.... Damn.

I got dish, it's usually time delay on bein here in the USA. They will show all 3 classes in 1 hour segments usually.
9, 10 pmest most Sunday evenings.
Or you can buy the a package right from Motogp.com, I hear it's killer.
This week, Argentina.
Been raining on and off.
Marquez on pole. The Hondas are a bit underpowered. But apparently their top guy has the brakes and handling figured out.
Rossi and Vinales on the Yamahas look good, both top 6 in qualifying.
The Ducatis are beasts, hp wise.
The big, long straights they just pull everybody.
Suzukis top guy, Iannone is a crasher.
Aprilla has been trying to break into the scene for a few years, as has KTM.
The KTM boss has been talking shit, says they are looking to win soon.
They're strong in the smaller, feeder classes, Moto 2 & 3, but imo it's gonna be a few years before the hit the box.

The rookie Vinales has come on real strong, look for him to be up there fighting for the lead.
If Marquez keeps it on 2 wheels, he's def the favorite on this track.
There's a guy named Zarco, on a kinda 2nd tier Yamaha team, just moved up from I think winning the 250s
2 years running that is a real strong rider.
Ducati, their top guy should be Lorenzo, who just left Yanaha and signed with them, but seems to be having a bit of a time getting used to the Italian bike. Ducatis best shot at the moment I think is a guy named Bautista, another one
doing good on a 2nd tier team.

My picks this week.......
Vinales
Rossi
Marquez

Superbikeplanet, Roadracing world.com, if you wanna follow this venue, 2 good places to watch.

Same winners as last week in all three classes. All three look like the title contenders in their division. Great ride for Bautista, Crutchlow and Zarco. How the hell did Zarco's tire last? Looked like smoke coming off it every corner. Bautista highest placing Ducati and two year old bike. Did Pedrosa and Marquez come off in the same corner?

Yes, turn 2 caught a lot of big players out. I say you give Zarco a hard tire & let him blaze away. Sure is fun to watch.

Pretty good race IMO.
Marquez this week, Zarco in the opener, both crashing out while way out in front, all alone, got to be embarrassing.
Was really surprised Zarcio brought this one home. He is fun to watch.
Thought Crutchlow would throw it away with Rossi on him for so long.......he rode smart, took what he could.

What's really weird to me, is how nobody can really flog the Ducati like Stoner did,
Rossi rode it for a year, disaster. Nicky Hayden never really dominated on it. Now they have last years Champion on it
and he's gettin beat by a B team, using a 2 year old bike.

WTF is up with the factory Ducatis?

Stoner was an alien. Seriously, no one could ride & do what he did on a motorcycle. Every once in a while they come along & it is a thing of beauty to watch. I was fortunate to see it up close. Great rider.

Good 350th for Val, stalked Cal as well as ever. Vinales is going to be hard to beat.

Zarco is fun to watch.

Pegram was great as a commentator.

I'm paraphrasing but I recall an interview after Hayden left Ducati where he said he felt like the bike was trying to kill him at times. Unbelievably fast but completely unpredictable and maybe that's one of the reasons for Stoner's very early retirement?

From SOUP, says a lot about the Ducs this year. Of course Dovi did well in Qatar and he got taken out by no fault of his own this week.

Marquez & Vinales 1 & 2, Rossi fills out the front row. This could be good. Lorenzo 6th, sentimental favorite Crutchlow 9th after a crash in practice. Pedrosa says the bumps are so bad it's like an SX track. Can anybody put Mark in his place?

Going to a MotoGP watching party tomorrow at my buddy's motorcycle shop. Have about 20 friends that made the trip down to COTA to either watch or work the corners.

I want to say Marquez has COTA wired and will run away with it again, but Vinales is on a roll for sure. Can't wait to watch tomorrow!

Marquez killed it in qualifying. 5 straight poles for him at COTA. Should be a hell of a race tomorrow.

Not the most exciting race but one hell of a performance my Marquez. 5 straight at COTA and undefeated in the USA.

Very cool to see the old man on top of the Championship.

And how stupid was Lorenzo for going to Ducati? That bike, while a great bike, does not suit his riding style at all.

Good race. After the race I was riding home and came upon a couple of chicks on Harleys. One apparently wanted to race.

Yeah bit of an anti climax after Vinales went down. After all the front end crashes this weekend you could tell that everyone was a little tentative. Normally you could expect to see some block passes & stuffing it inside on this track but no one was willing to try it except Zarco. It almost worked. Even Crutchlow was pretty conservative. Did anybody not lose the front end this weekend?

Don't think Val did. He's taking the Dungey approach to the lead in the championship.

So glad the Rossi penalty did not effect the results.

That was a BS decision. They were damn near on the skirt before contact, he had nowhere else to go.

But like I said, at least it didn't change the results.

I was curious about the penalty. Few years ago he and Marc came together on the last lap at Assen. Forced Rossi to cut across the apron in the chicane and he won. Marc wanted to protest it but the race officials said due to the collision Val had no other choice so the win stood. He gained a lot more of an advantage that time.

Also, regarding the Rossi penalty. Pretty sure they penalized him because they said he had plenty of track to be able to keep it on the track instead of cutting. On the earlier incident with MM if you watch MM's line after the hit there was no way Rossi could have stayed out of the gravel so they probably didn't penalize him because of that.
