He is getting paid to walk around and wear Ducati gear.

And he'll occasionally ride the bike and maybe race it a time or two. Not a bad deal if you can get it!

Great weekend for riding, huh?

Quack - Quack... (Like a DUCk.  See what I did there?)  Yeah.  I'm pretty bored.  The nuclear winter of no motorsports has begun, in ernest 

Tonight (Sunday January 31) around 10 pm MotoGP testing will start at Sepang, broadcasted live on subscription MotoGP.

I think it starts at 8PM our time.  I will be watching!!

Yep, thanks.  I'll watch it tonight when I get home from work   

The motor sports dry seaaon is almost over: WSBK kicks off soon, thank god, February 28th at Phillip Island.  Get those DVRs tuned-up with test runs of "Rat Patrol" or something  

Where is WSBK being broadcast this season? Is it bein sports again?

Mark

Apparently so, if this 2016 coverage map is to be believed:

Rumor is that Fox Sports 1 is not carrying MotoGP this year. BeIn sports picked it up.

Shit, I don't get BeIn with my current DirecTv package. Uh-Oh.

Mark

BeIn Sport was okay the first year they had WSBK and has been getting worse each of the past two years.  There were races last year that they didn't broadcast until the Tuesday or Wednesday following the race.   They also stopped showing the WSS races.  They would typically show they first race tape delayed and then the 2nd race live if they did show the races on Sunday.

Another thing, WSBK is going to have one race on Saturday and one on Sunday.  I personally don't like this schedule change.  Going to the races and seeing two races on Sunday was awesome!!!

Swanny

Hmmm, going to double check the channel guide   

I checked on DirecTv and to get the package that has BeIn I'd have to nearly DOUBLE my current bill! That isn't going to happen. I guess I'll have to look into the MotoGP subscription package for the computer if the races are not carried by any of my currently available channels.

MotoGP is shown on Fox Sports schedule for 2016.
