Very good news. Ever since Comcast's spat with BEIN Sports I've been reluctant to spend even more money for that content.

I'm just glad I don't have to watch via those crappy pirate streams anymore. Smile

That’s great news. I was also reluctant to pay extra money for BEIN.

Wow great news I really like the BEIN Channel and was worried when I cut the cord I would not be able to get it anymore.

One of the best reasons to be disappointed with this is the loss of watching the 2 and 3 races. I loved the moto3 races!! I wish I was wrong but it says "premier" class in the article.

it says the 2 + 3 races will be available online somehow...

"The network will also partner with MotoGP on an over the top (OTT) product (i.e. streaming) which includes coverage of both the Moto2 and Moto3 racing classes. It will also host ancillary content like news conferences and special features. Whether practice sessions will also receive coverage is not yet clear."

count me among those that lost bein access locally and was watching pirate streams..
looking forward to next season!!

I think he gets a factory bike for as long as he wants for this season. Nobody is mentioning money.
One would think if he's in the hunt, he will do the whole series.
If not, it sounds as if he will call it a day and retire from motogp.
Eh, what the heck, he knows dirt.
Maybe he will try American Supercross in 2021.
I saw a pic, he knows how to jump.

Look at the wing on this thing



The #Aprilia RS-GP 2020 makes its debut on the track at @sepangcircuit shakedown, with the names of all the women and men of the Noale Racing Department.

Has to be some really light weight breakaway deal. Can't see that flying (pun intended) in MotoGP.

Ok here's how I see it in "Kev'z World" ...

Any and all "aero modifying winglets" must be contained within the faring, period.

Pretty simple to me ...

These bikes are bad as fuck. They have so much power engineers are putting wings to keep the front down.. this tells me horsepower is not the issue. I would love to spin some laps but I doubt I could even warm the tires properly.

i am not sure about the "downforce" of it. The wings are still controversial but riders feel that they help in fast corners so they go that way.

To add to the wheelieing. That is true. Guys do even slightly use rear brake while accelerating out of the corner to keep the front down. At those speeds and with this much horsepower the traction and tyre preservation is much more important than going balls to the walls.

They did. Busted, or denied Ducati a few years ago for less than that.

I'm sure the pics are still around.


Something fishy going on.........

Wasn't this a no go?

I think the language to the old rule was that it couldn't be outside of the fairing. Well now it's part of the fairing. Problem solved. Cool

Maybe so, but I think I remember reading the wing thing is another way to help with front end grip.
