2020 Moto GP TV coverage
« on: March 05, 2020, 10:29:34 AM »
I spent a bit of tim looking for this weekend’s Moto 2/3 coverage on BEIN Network and couldn’t find. Then discovered that NBC Sports is carrying this week’s schedule. No GP this week, but pulling for Joe Roberts to up his game in Moto 2. Anyone know if the switch to NBC will kill coverage of the Qualifying?

I posted this on another thread.  It appears that NBC will only have tape delayed MotoGP coverage.  Live coverage, qualification and other classes don't appear to be on schedule. 

So more people can see MotoGP on NBC but those of us with BEIN will miss the complete coverage.  Since the GP was cancelled, I have no idea if they'll substitute the other classes in the timeslot.

Also, NBC has WSBK.  They ran race 2 (not race 1) on Monday evening.

The best part of riding a motorcycle is to tilt the horizon and to lift the front coming out of a corner and to drift the back end powering thru loose dirt and to catch a little air topping a hill and... yeah it's all good!

This weekend is Moto 2/3 only as is by now well known.
Thailand is delayed as well.
Austin still on, Argentina SWEARS they will run.

Nice that NBC will show the races but I am a committed MotoGP VideoPass guy. It's a prime entertainment for me and the savings from ditching DirecTV more than made up the cost.

I plan to head to Austin for the GP.  If it still makes the schedule, it will now be season opener.  #93 has owned the place except for last year.

Even more news.  MotoGP considering racing in some venues with no spectators, just TV only.
