British GP 2017 *** Spoiler Alert *** - DAC - 08-27-2017
So, Honda blows a potential podium with a mechanical? Blown engine no less. Soichiro is probably spinning in his grave. With all the miles Honda engines put down in GP racing this year in all three classes - to have Marquez blow an engine while in the hunt for the win is incredibly bad luck.
BTW:
1 - Dovi
2 - Vinales
3 - Rossi
Of interest elsewhere is Crutchlow at 5 and Pedrosa at 7. The rest is posted on the 'net. Felt kind of silly posting "spoiler alert" for a race that ended almost half a day ago. Not much chatter on this race on the forum.
Marc is now 9 points behind Dovi and just 4 ahead of Vinales. Have we had 4 different leaders so far?
As before, it's wide open!

DAC I got up early and rode 197 miles from Marietta home non stop so I could watch the race. Not much interest in MotoGP on this forum, especially since they moved it from ESPN to Bein sports which you have to purchase separately.
Dovi rode another great race. Dani disappointed me by not passing ANYONE while getting passed by Vinales and Zarco and maybe Lorenzo.
Too bad for Marquez. Oh the highs and lows of being a 25 year old Champion. He has extra engines. The possible 25 points was tough to lose, but he will bounce back.
Vinales looked good and so did Rossi until the end. He had to be wishing the race was 3 laps shorter.
I really expected Crutchlow to try SOMETHING on that last lap seeing as he was in front of his home crowd.
Next up Italy!

I use Kodi ( it's a software overlay to an Amazon Fire stick than links you to streaming sites via the interwebz)..
I'd like to see Rossi get one more...
I loved his early charge, but... well.. Least he got 3rd.
Also, apparently my Dani Pedrosa voodoo doll is still working :-)

I have been following Moto GP from 1965 onwards when I was 15, also watch the Super Bike Races.
after ESPN stopped showing the races I bought the BEIN Sport package and love them showing all the races and qualifying .
I use my DVR to watch every single minute of the series.

Hondahawkrider, where can you stream the MotoGP on the interwebs?

I finally broke down and bought the Video Pass and I like it. Stream from my computer to the TV via Chromecast. Moto3 race, as usual was best of all.
Fantastic race from start to finish. Dovi rode a smart race and earned the win. Would love to see him win the championship with Ducati winning the manufacturers race.
