    Also, I wish Gods(Rain/Wind/Sun) to bless us with varying weather conditions through out the season.
    True. Favouring tracks are needed, so are the changing weather. Puts in the human errors .

      • KTM RC16 unveiled at Austrian GP!

        KTM officially unveiled the RC16 MotoGP bike at the Austrian round last Saturday. Test riders Alex Hoffman and Mika Kallio also rode a few demo laps around the Red Bull Ring for the assembled fans. KTM and primary sponsor Red Bull wanted to make best use of the their home GP, by officially unveiling the motorcycle there. The RC16 is still under major development, with the bike being constantly tested and improved in the hands of riders Kallio and Hoffman.

        A month ago, at the private MotoGP test at Austria, the KTMs had participated along with the regular MotoGP field. And it was a pleasant surprise to see the new bikes just a couple of seconds of the pace of the fastest bike on the grid. 2017 will see the KTM competing in MotoGP with riders Bradley Smith and Pol Espargaro. Currently both the riders ride for the Tech3 team on satellite Yamahas. The true potential of the bike will be visible only once the regular MotoGP riders get their hands on the orange bike at Valencia after the last race of the season.

        With the addition of KTM, there will now be 6 manufacturers in MotoGP. The Austrian manufacturer will take on the likes of Honda, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki and Aprilia. KTM will want to hit the ground running and their first target will be Aprilia. It will be interesting to see how KTM fares after their success in Moto3.

        Since Alex Hoffman first rode the KTM RC16, nine and a half months have passed, and nine development tests have been absolved. Now KTM is making final preparations to enter the highest level of motorcycle racing. In 2017 KTM will have a presence in all classes of the sport from Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup to Moto3 and Moto2, right up to the premiere class of the world championship series, the MotoGP.

                  They had cut the telecast when the riders were lining up for the race. I was so pissed too.

                  The race was amazing. Mind + Gambling made CC35 a winner and VR46 on podium. Bravest of them was AI29, who rode with the tampered front tyre. Looks like 2016 is not the year for AD04.

                    This is new low for Tensports. Last week, they gave the hd feed preference to Srilankan test cricket. Today, they have swapped with highlights of an old football match.

                      great ride by cal, congrats to him..i am interested in reading his loud-mouthed claims about his self even more now 35 or so years after the last british rider (barry sheene) won a motogp race...this yr's motogp has already produced quite a few historical wins.

                      good rides by rossi, MM, iannone etc...dovi bad af luck again..

                      biggest blunder and brain-fade by lorenzo lol...he'd have been 7th-8th had he not pitted so late and at such a wrong time..and then he pitted again lol...cant imagine how pissed he must be at the moment...michelins+wet is really the worst combination for him ever it seems.

                        turns out lorenzo pitted (for the first time) not because of some brain fade as it seemed to everyone initially but because his front tyre was destroyed, like many other riders'...

                              +1 to Akshay. Everyone if you could post on Ten Sports Social Media channels and email them as well. Let us collectively give them grief for giving us grief

                              6 different winners in the last 6 races of MotoGP. Who would have imagined. Awesome.
