This Weekend: MotoGP 2022
- Thread starter wombat666
- Start date
This weekend my provider will cover all training sessions, and all races. They lost the TV rights for Formula One, so now they went for the motor races. I'm curious to see how they will cover these.
As it is covered live, the times are a bit odd in my area.
Cheers,
Huub

If they take the BT feed you should get a decent coverage Huub.
Their commentary team are usually very good, plenty of knowledge and on track experience anchored by Suzy Perry who must be the best informed female in Motorsport (or on the planet!).
Briefly, we are planning our IOM trip (COVID allowing) at the present, with a couple of EU MotoGP rounds if we can swing it, as well as an attempt to get to a couple of concerts
in the UK.
We're (both tragics!) hoping to see 'Rumors Of Fleetwood Mac' and 'The Classic Rock Show' if we can work in their appearance schedules..................

I run both MotoGP and WSBK apps due to my work schedule, but have seen a few things show on a major network here in the US. Our own series (MotoAmerica) just started, I ended up watching that on Youtube. I'm now going to have to start watching all classes as the Moto3/2 riders are moving up quick.

The 2022 MotoGP social media advertisements have been quite entertaining!

Michelin’s decision to bring a stiffer construction rear tyre to combat Indonesia’s extreme heat caused Honda to have serious rear grip problems, with Pol Espargaro worried he wouldn’t have been able to finish a dry Mandalika GP due to the strain being placed on the front tyre.
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s weather-delayed race, Puig told motogp.com: “Marc had these three crashes and we have to try to understand why, because his crash from today was brutal.
“Honestly speaking we need to analyse. They [Michelin] brought here a different tyre and we have to understand everything, and at this moment it’s difficult.

Time to retire?
I hope not but I'd rather have one of the current great riders retaining his sight out of MotoGP than losing it!

The six-time MotoGP world champion suffered a horrifying high-side crash in the closing stages of Sunday morning's warm-up at the Mandalika International Street Circuit when the rear of his Honda let go through the Turn 7 right-hander.
Marquez was taken to hospital after the crash for precautionary checks and was ruled out of the race having suffered a concussion.
While the initial word from Honda was that he'd sustained no serious injuries, it has now transpired that Marquez has once again damaged a nerve in his eye and is suffering from double vision.
This problem ruled him out of the final two rounds of 2021 when he was left with a concussion after a training incident, while his career was put in doubt back in 2011 when he first damaged the eye in a Moto2 crash in Malaysia.
On the flight back from Indonesia, Marquez began to suffer more problems with his vision and immediately went for checks in Barcelona, where a new case of diplopia was diagnosed.
Marquez took to social media to say that this case of diplopia is "less severe" than it was in November.
A brief post read: "It seems that I am experiencing deja vu... During the trip back to Spain, I began to have discomfort with my vision, and we decided to visit Dr. Sanchez Dalmau, who confirmed that I have a new episode of diplopia.
"Fortunately, it is less severe than the injury I had at the end of last year. But now it's time to rest and wait to see how the injury evolves. As always, thank you very much to everyone for your support!!"
His ophthalmologist Doctor Sanchez Dalmau says Marquez will undergo checks next weekend to evaluate the evolution of the injury to determine a recovery time.
He was sidelined for three months that last time he battled double vision problems. His participation next week's Argentina GP is currently in doubt.
"The neuro-ophthalmological evaluation carried out on Marc Marquez on Monday after the head injury that occurred at the Indonesian Grand Prix, shows a new episode of diplopia caused by a recurrence of paralysis of the fourth right nerve, with less involvement than the one that occurred in the injury in November 2021," Dr Dalmau said.
"After this examination, it was initially decided to follow a conservative treatment with periodic medical tests.
"Next week, Marc Marquez will undergo a new check-up to evaluate the evolution of the injury and to predict the estimated recovery period to return to competition."(Q
