I'm not very computer savvy so I haven't done it, but the pro-tip is to fake that your computer is in Europe and then get a Euro-sport membership. Then you get all the cool sports.

Looks like Lorenzo might be going to Ducati
Lorenzo on edge of Ducati move?

I went to MMI I know what Im doing here chief
I sure hope so, Ducati needs him. It must have sucked to be Dovi or Iannone this February and have Stoner show up and go faster than you, on your bike. As much as I'd love to see Stoner come back and dominate, I'm doubtful he ever will. Lorenzo is Ducati's best bet for future wins.
I am looking forward to Iannone growing on the Ducati...I'm willing to bet he could take over in a couple more years. Stoner was good on it because he always said hes perfectly confortable having the thing sliding everywhere under him, and thats what Iannone does on it.

had one last year, it's nice to be able to access 1990's races, like for example 1992 season with Mamola, Gardner, Lawson, Doohan, Chandler, Rainey, Kosinski, Criville, Schwantz, Duhamel, Mackenzie, Barros, Goddard... 1992 was probably the most star-studded year in MotoGP, or is it just my age and I recognize all those name because early 90's is when I really got interested in GP?
Anyway, after Rossi-MM fiasco I cancelled the VideoPass (after the last race it was up for auto-renewal so I just disabled that) because I don't want any of my $$ going to DORNA, also the stream quality during live broadcast always sucks ass, and if I want to watch it later there are always free torrent options.

Tough luck for Dovizioso getting crashed into two races in a row.

Well then. Poor Dov, has he got a target on him? And poor Rossi. Just glad Mav got some good points!
But really, Marquez... why is that man so fast???
Fairly certain he's sold his soul. His eyes always look black to me in the interviews.
Regarding Dovi, when I saw Pedro's camera hit him at that angle, I was sure it was going to be a broken femur/pelvis I'm very relieved that there were no injuries today.
Regarding crashes, my wife has been an increasing fan the past few years. She has little technical knowledge and doesn't ride, but asks a lot of questions. I try to explain how breathtaking it is to watch the tightrope these riders tread on such powerful machines, and how close to losing control they ride. The last two races, most pointedly with Rossi today, have really made this clear.
Are the Michelin fronts unpredictable at the limit?

When I saw that camera shot of Dovi getting hit I feared it was going to be a serious injury. Glad it wasn't but sucks he's had 2 bad weeks in a row.

Uhg... Poor Dovi. Feel so bad for the dude. If it weren't for getting taken out in the past two races he'd definitely be in the fight for 2nd place in the championship (c'mon, no one's beating MM). SO glad he wasn't badly hurt. You know he's fuckin sore today, though. Hope he's not too beat up.
And that Rossi crash. I couldn't believe it. That dude's rock fuckin solid! It's been forever since the last time he didn't take a checkered.

That sounds pretty accurate.
Sounds just like my daughter (except she's 8) - she watched the entire race with me and "interrogated" me the entire time haha. She's fascinated by how far these guys lay the bikes down. And the team design choices of course (she's an artist through and through).
Sounds like the riders are mostly agreeing that they are just unforgiving after this last one..
Part of it is the new tire characteristics. Part of it is also that Turn 1 at COTA is tricky. It's a hairpin on a hillside at the end of the front straight. So you're charging up the hill, and the inertia of the machine is up, and then you turn sideways to go around and back down. The inertia of the bike therefore unloads the front tire as soon as you begin turning, which makes for a very tricky transition.
