“I am delighted that a rider of Andrea's stature has decided to commit his future to Tech 3 and Yamaha. He is without doubt one of the fastest riders in the world who has proven on a regular basis that he is capable of challenging for the podium in MotoGP. I am thrilled that he trusts the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team to take his career to the next level and we can look forward to 2012 with high expectations. I am convinced that with Andrea and Cal we have one of the strongest line-ups on the grid in 2012 and both of them will demonstrate the potential of Yamaha's new 1000cc machine.”

Does this mean Tech 3 will get factory machines as well? Don't forget Simoncelli is already riding factory machines even though on a satellite team

I wonder who will win this year

I remember hearing that Simoncelli is the exception, and Aoyama not having an identical bike.

990cc actually, CRT (Claiming Rule Teams) will be using production bike engines.

[MIGHTY MAX]

PETRONAS HAVE PULL OUT SPONCERING FACTORY YAMAHA FOR 2012 as their contract have end.
FIAT last year pull the plug SPONCERING the team. So it will b a financial issue in the Yamaha squad unless market sales goes up..

[Md Ali]

Yamaha 2012 sponsor - ENEOS , an oil company from Japan. Tbc however.

[MIGHTY MAX]

What a bummer... They should join in SBK.. as SBK RULE only one bike...hope they could find a good team..its a sad such a talented rider have to retired due no ride..

[Md Ali]

What a waste, Anthony still got a lot to prove.

[Qiang]

Is it still telecast on StarHub? Can't locate the schedule

[dolf]

Where to view this weekend's race bro??...99.96pounds for season video pass @ motogp.com,damn!

[Tortise]

Any idea on telecast?

[kawarides]

Any idea on telecast?

Just called Starhub, cust svc reply no more telecast Motogp...... but do not know how sure she was as the reply was not confident. Sianzzz if really thats the case.

[Tortise]

Thanks kawarides... I knew it will come to this one day, seems Dorna keeps increasing tv costs. The season pass has gotten ridiulously expensive. Now its time to stop my sports package subs i guess...

[karlmarx]

Starhub sucks man. Wan watch F1 they fun have. Now wanna watch motogp also dun have.

Any of u guys know which pubs have life telecast of motogp? Really hope to catch it live later…

[ELMARZ]

what a boring weekend! no motogp live telecast from cabel tv starhub,what happen? they only telecast football football football, will cancell when my contract expire..

[shaunz]

do a google... can find live streaming
it seems that only espn (singtel) have motogp this year

[racingline]

What an opening race !!! realised that starhub is not telecasting motogp too late...finally ordered the video pass for 14 pound for just the qatar race..this just sucks...i am gonna cancel the sports pack. the video pass is awesome though, lots of videos, and long interviews and press conferences.

[mechwira]

i just cancelled my starhub sports pack.

for those who tried the online pass, can comment the quality? smooth with no stutter? wat speed plan you on?

i am thinking of paying the full euro100 for the full season pass, but i worried quality. i'm on starhub's 50mbps plan using home wi-fi.

I am thinking of the same. video quality is HD , 720 max. good streaming speed on my starhub conncetion, wifi. plus you get access to their video archive. worth it!

thanks.

that settles it. I'm buying the full season pass. 100 euros is about S$165. thats only a little more than starhub's sports pack 12 x $12 = $144, and cheaper than subscribing mio just for motogp.

[karlmarx]

I am also on the video pass. Got for a year. Think it's really worth it!

[karlmarx]

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/98678

Think Rossi given up hope Liao.

How is the picture quality ?

[karlmarx]

I link my laptop to my 32 inch LCD TV. Looks as good as watching TV. Not sure what your expections are but definately good enough for me.

Rossi with his Ducati (thrash) cant even smell Lorenzo M1 smoke, he should have stay with Yamaha that he had help developed. anyway it's all about $$..SBK are better than Motogp anyway

[Md Ali]

The CRTs looked like they were out place but i think in the future all motogp bikes will be like CRT.

[dolf]

I HATE SOCCER!!!!!@#$%^&*()_......... What has happened to ...!@#$%^&*!@#$%..... STARHU*!!!! STARHU* you big cheating MOFO!!!!!!!!I'm gonna cancel this bullshi* sports package of mine AAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[dolf]

...NO F1,NO Wimbledon,NO MotoGP,NO BSB,NO SBK...WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kevin]

I cancelled Sports package from SCV today.
Bought the full session MotoGp video pass, can even watch 90's GP race.

Shiok

[mechwira]

Be warned though, that I can't seem to stream it to my android based tablet. It streams to my desktop just fine, and both of these are plugged into the same wifi network. Either my device is not compatible or the source mobile device connection is not operating properly.

[h3llfire]

take a look at the 90s motogp there 1 or 2 season they are running in PG track

[Md Ali]

Oh Yes ! I remember that, 1998 , the last we saw someone clocked 1.29 . If only PG track up to FIM standard we could watch some international races there. now they can't even hold AsiaPac series.

[h3llfire]

yes, i think vale clock 1.30 on a 250? anyway the time is way faster than the record now. despite the technology which is 10plus years back. and only a few manage to clock a 1.39 on a BIG BIKE now

[Md Ali]

Fuhh, bonus Weekend! SBK n Motogp live on TV this Sunday . If you liked to see local racers in action come to PG circuit.

[dolf]

Just got the full MotoGp season package, no regrets!!

[mechwira]

sigh. Motogp season pass is awesome. Motogp racing is dull.

I find myself re-watching the early 2000's battles of Rossi vs Biaggi vs Gibernau, and i find those videos in season pass far more entertaining than watching this season's Stoner vs Lorenzo vs Pedrosa.

i was young when Max Biaggi raced.. support him.. but his luck vs Rossi really sucks.. always crash out..

anyway, think today's match no bad.. Rossi won second overtaking Stoner..

i think too much electronics and no road for these bikes.. overshadow their success.. most ppl willing to spend top dollar for F1 but not motogp..

they are like boys' game

[mechwira]

seriously, does anybody know where i can watch World Superbikes?

i think its the more exciting motorcycling championship now. I'm surprised Stoner didn declare himself open to WSB ride, since according to him its MotoGP he's given up on, not motorcycle racing itself.

[Md Ali]

Good to see Vale on podium again, hope he can get a win this year.

Btw you can watch SBK live on Mio Tv.

ugh, not an option. i'm running starhub coz i watch all the channels they have. if i bought mio, i'd be paying just for WSB and MotoGP and nothing else coz i really dun see much in Mio. especially since i'm not an EPL fan.
