As predicted the Race Circuit of Wales isnt ready and this years UK race will stay at Silverstone., well there was no chance of it being built in time.
Infact the new circuit may not be ready for 2016 either, so Silverstone may run that one too.

We are going to see it at Silverstone for the first time this year.
Want to take in the atmosphere and sights, sounds and smell.
Rossi can't be racing for ever and I've got to see him race for one time  :D

The US gets one round? Is that new?

We had 3 last year but lost Laguna Seca so now have 2(Texas & Indy).

Fast straights on those tracks,Indy was 214.8 mph and Texas right at 213.

I'm more than ready for the season to start!  They should have more races in their 'season' IMO anyway.  Remember Qatar and Marquez first ride against Rossi?  I would love to ride that track.  I recorded it and watch the last five laps over and over.  Brilliant racing between Rossi and both of the Repsol boys.  Lorenzo had checked out and the fight was for second.  Man, what a five lap run for Rossi against those Hondas.  Fifth to second in five laps!  Those Hondas just have to have 3-4 more HP than the competition don't they?  But then there's Lorenzo on his Yammy...  Good to hear Suzuki is coming back.  Would be great to see all the major competition being represented.

They've always had the HP, and now their GP15 looks to have the chassis to go with it. But time will tell.

That's a great pity to lose Laguna Seca off the list, it's a legendary track and been around a long time.

I just can't equate to the speeds those guys chuck em into bends hanging right off the bike.
Imagine reaching the end of the straight and then your hanging on the brakes trying to scrub 60mph off your speed to throw it over and lean hard into the next bend at 150mph? It just doesn't compute  :lol:

I agree 100%!!! I'm fortunate to live two hours from Indy. They come off of a 1st gear hairpin onto the front straight and still manage to break 200 mph before diving into turn one. They rip your eardrums out as they blow by...pure sex. Last year the Ducati set the highest top speed ever recorded in a race at 217.2 mph. If their new chassis is up to the task, it's going to be a wild year!

Be sure and check your channel guide,I attempted to set my DVR to FS1(new SPEED channel)to record it since that's where it was televised(here)all last year and couldn't find it.Turns out they've moved it to FS2(which isn't a HD channel out here,and I wasn't aware we even had it...almost panicked :lol:).Wondering if anybody has anything for Marquez this year,sure didn't last year. :lol:

Whew, just checked and its on CBSSD here, channel 732 at 2:00 pm Sunday afternoon.  I have Xfinity/Comcast.

Oh wait!  What kind of BS is this?  My Xfinity/Comcast channel guide shows FS1 has the Qatar GP race at 6:00 pm west coast time on Monday!  It also shows the Moto GP and GP2 race in (Argentina)? on Sunday afternoon at 2:00 pm on CBSSD.  Now, the official GP calendar indicates that the FIM MX GP is on Sunday in Argentina, not the Moto GP race!!!  It's at Qatar of course.  So, FS1 who apparently still has the television contract with the Moto GP organization can't find a spot for (the) premier motorcycle race in the world until 6:00 pm on the evening of the frikkin day (after) the race was held? :td:  Fargin Bastiches.....

Yes, FoxSports 1 is airing it 9 pm EST on Monday.

FoxSports 2 has it on Sunday at 2 pm EST .  Moto 3 and then Moto 2 beginning at 7 PM EST.

For Dish customers, you are SOL unless you have purchased "everything" to be an able to watch it on Sunday and are really SOL if you want to follow Moto 2/3.
