Just a reminder, the British MotoGP is live on ITV (main channel) this Sunday 12:30 - 2:30.

Highlights (including Moto2 and Moto3) as usual on ITV4 Monday evening 8:00.

I'll be watching on Sat, however Moto GP just not that interesting for me this year. Same goes for BSB, it just seems a bit dull compared to usual. The big surprise has been WSB, for the 1st time in years its the best racing to watch on TV IMO.

If you've been put off WSB over the years with Rea's dominance it's worth tuning in for the rest of the season.

We must be watching different MotoGP series, the last race in Austria was bat**** bonkers.

Well said Alan.I seem to remember when Ducatis were winning on a regular basis and even the commentators were subtly moaning about it but nothing has been said about Kawasaki winning for the past few years.

Love it all...!!! Especially Moto 3....8 abreast into the last lap, what could ever go wrong ?!! Bonkers. Neal McKenzie once posed the question about parents scrambling to get there 15 years old sons on bikes with a 150mph + potential....madness!!

Haha! a few of us did Pete Boast's flat track school about a decade ago (excellent day out at an indoor equestrian centre in winter!) One of the instructors was Taylor Mac. Taz and Niall also came along 'to spectate'. Two generations of MacKenzies racing each other round a dirt track was quite a sight, I have no recollection of who got the best of it but it was a full on, full throttle, elbows out battle. No love lost once the visor comes down.

Some years ago I did a Knockhill track day, Neil turned up bringing James Whittam who was a Triumph ambassador, they had a Street Triple in their van....after the safety briefing out we went, Whittam passed me pulling a wheelie out of the hairpin all the way up the start/finish straight....during the lunch break Neil took the canteen girl round as pillion, he easily broke the minute lap time....”scream if you want to go faster”.....

Talking of Knockhill......It's the Scottish championships next weekend (4+5th Sept), I'm heading up to watch on one of the days. Tickets on sale at the gate - hopefully no restrictions this time.
