    Good opening race to the season today, as the weather was so bad a good excuse to watch all three races. Pleased for the winner of the MotoGP race, won't say who in case others have it recorded to watch.

    Agreed. It sure does make F1 look a trifle boring. I'd recommend any bike fan to visit one of the Southern European rounds of the Season. Jerez is probably the best. The whole city becomes bike-centric. Just remember to take earplugs for a decent nights sleep. Bikes on race cans buzz around all night. The police all seem to take holiday, or volunteer for traffic duties at the circuit. Fabulous.

    I have only ever been to Silverstone, but keep thinking one year will have to make the journey to warmer climate to enjoy MotoGP.

    Had avoided this thread as have only (recorded) terrestrial coverage. Need to be so careful not to hear the result anywhere.

    Did enjoy it this evening, looks like another good season.

    Remember, a few yrs ago, coming home from work in Porthcawl on an F1 Sunday.

    Was knackered mentally and fizzically and was looking forward to a season-defining race.

    Made a sandwich or two, opened a bottle of eau-de-vin and made myself comfortable.

    Turned on the telly and it happened to be on a news prog. The very first words emitted were 'and the xxxxxx GP was won by xxxxxxx'. Bah.

    year before last I was unable to watch the F1 live so I recorded it and avoided everything and everyone like the plague that was likely to know and show the result, and what happens? I got a news headline update notification on my Iphone with the result.
