Good race. Not super thrilling but quite tense. It left me wanting 5 more laps to see where 2nd place would end up. Nice effort from Dovi, well deserved second. Too bad about Iannone

Two weeks until Argentina
 
Okay, Video Pass is AMAZING!

I finally get to see all the post race interviews with the top 3.

Watching Qualifying was rad.

I watched Moto3 and Moto 2 in order or race events, sitting in bed, via my iPad while my wife took a nap next to me.

I then watched the MotoGP race via Apple Airplay to the Apple TV on my Big TV Downstairs.


Also, the race was good, Moto 2 was crazy, still not sure how so many people jumped the start. Alex Marquez was interviewed and claimed he saw the lights flicker some before they went out....


Jorge is amazing, it is his Championship to lose this year for sure. Also I watched an interview with Jorge that he was offered a deal with Yamaha a week ago but has tabled it for now... perhaps he is thinking of moving on to a different manufacturer after all.....
 
Welcome to the world of full coverage MotoGP! I watch all the practices, qualifying and pre-race bits as well; it really adds a lot to the race.
 
Practice is often something I will just play in the background while I have breakfast and potter around the house. I work evenings, though, so that luxury is afforded to me. :)
