Bigger does not mean better. As a business, yeah this is great for MotoGP.
F1 is a circus disguised as motorsport, IMO. All about the ultra-wealthy and very little there that can be enjoyed by everyday people. Tickets to the Austrian Grand Prix range from 365 to 840 Euros, MotoGP ranges from 130 to 275 Euros. 3 day hospitality passes for Spa in F1 start at 5,273 Euro, my Moto GP Premier passes for SIlverstone were the equivalent of around 3,300 Euros.
I had the privilege of speaking with a young Dorna employee at the silverstone GP and during a lull in the activities, I asked him what he thought of the Liberty takeover. He expressed genuine concern about it. He said the current paddock was a "family" and he feared it would become a "corporation" (his words).
Maybe I'm just being a pessimist, but I honestly don't see how making MotoGP more like F1 is a good thing.
I was never happy with Dorna and Carmen . The Spanish riders always got their way and all the different rules that followed. As I said in post above I’m not fond of smaller displacement. I’ve never been fond of spec tires or locked ecu’s . So bottom line I’ll still watch and support and maybe just maybe it’ll get better.

Dorna has nothing to do with the rules being followed, that's the FIM 🤷♀️
lol go back to years why everyone hates MM and Honda for giving the Spanish riders special treatment. That wasn’t F.I.M . It was Dorna and Carmelo Ezpeleta .

Another weekend and another double win for the GOAT. Kicked the crap out of pecco 🤣 and the best bit was all the tears from the yellow horde seeing MM further establish his dominance. So glad rossi was there to see it. lol

Yeah yeah MM wins another sprint at Assen....But Quartararo on another pole but this time didn't fade so quickly turning his fastest time on lap 8 in fourth place--so some improvement....then lost the front and dumped it

No..., I was talking about Fabio Quartararo, not Gearheaded!😁
I really meant in relation to, well, himself, the way things usually go, not so much in relation to other riders. He is still on an underpowered bike, and due to some bozo's mistake, had to start the Sprint race on a used front (someone's getting fired!), and on a new tire probably still would have finished ahead of quite a few fast teams

Well, at least the livery on the M1's were beautiful--a la the US version Red/White/Black--2000 R1--and R7, as was the beauty who rode up on the Yamaha (XSR 700 maybe?) that sung their anthem and waved the checked flag..Wow!

Let's say I have a space, a man cave adjacent to an open floor plan four-car garage, roughly 427 sq. feet (21'9''x19'8''), and I'll add some comfortable seating for guest (probably no more than eight people at a time), what type and size television screen should I get to accomodate watching MotoGP, F1, American football, basketball, SBK, GT Series, Trans Am Series, etc.?

I think it's awesome that Quartararo/Yamaha scored 3rd and a podium in the German Sprint. I mean, it's not a full race distance, and as much as I hate to admit it Marquez is clearly the dominant rider this year, and his record at this track has been dominant, but still Quat and the M1 on the podium, ahead of some pretty heady competition is something to feel good about if you're a Yamaha fan!
Yes Quat rode awesome, but remember rain is an equalizer. He can ride pretty dam good. I’d say instead of taking the money he should’ve jumped on a duc so he could fight for the wins.
But then again Fabio would rather have his shirt off and his pockets full of cash😜

Yeah what a life...Young, good looking, fit, racing the best motorcycles ever all around the world, women swooning everywhere, and manufacturers just throwing money at you to ride their bikes. Can I have a job application please?!
