Real racing with the battle for the lead going back and forth lap after lap after lap with a final pass from Marquez on Lorenzo on the last lap. Unbelievable stuff!

And then they hugged each other after the race. These guys could give Lewis and Nico some pointers on sportsmanship.

Moto GP has actually been very good to watch all year.

Agreed - I think it has presented the best racing for fans of any series this year.

That was a fantastic race to watch. I'm sure Rossi wouldn't agree though.

Mugello was amazing!
My interest for F1 has quickly dwindled in the last year in favor of MotoGP.
Extraordinary racing and competition. (Even though Marquez is dominating at the moment)
You don't have to sit there for 1.5 to 2 hours to figure out who is first or second.
No tire changes.
No fuel stops.
No pit strategies.
No stupid DRS, activation zones etc...
Just straightforward spectacular and intensive racing.
Love it!

^^ And no running laps to a preset time to conserve tires or fuel -- just a flat out "who's fastest to the finish line" - a novel idea that F1 needs to relearn

Unfortunately, all youtube videos of MotoGP are copyrighted and they have a pay per view service they do which is not entirely fan friendly, but I'm with you guys, I've spent more and more time watching MotoGp in the past couple years becaue of this type of racing. Wish I had a clip of yesterday's race to show everyone how good it is!!

MotoGP is very nice, but don't forget World Superbike either!

Despite the fact that Marquez has now won every round this year the races continue to get better and better.

I was literally on the edge of my seat watching it unfold this past weekend!!! Rossi is FINALLY coming into form on the Yamaha and Pedrosa gave it one hell of a go this weekend as well.

Can't wait for the next round!!!

Another great race with lots of action in Spain. Sure the same result in terms of race winner, but it's a battle all the way to the last lap. Wish MotoGP would not block the Youtube videos of the internet because it truly is a way to give their series more exposure.
