Wow, amazing day for Italy in Moto3 and Moto2. Antonelli wins and Corsi was on the podium.. Maybe we can have a miracle nominated "The Doctor46"

Fantastic show of force by Chaz Davies and his Ducati in the World Superbike at Aragon today. The first non-Kawasaki to win a race this year

Van der Mark crashed out after a great start, moving from 11th to 6th in half a lap

Meanwhile it's chaos at the MotoGP in Argentina. Scott Redding's rear tyre exploded yesterday, leading to Michelin withdrawing both compounds and coming up with a "special compound" for today's race. However, there's a good chance it'll rain, which would mean more problems. Rumours now are that if the race starts in wet conditions, but the track dries up during the race, the race will be red-flagged..

 

Well first let's wait and see what happens in the Moto3 and 2, the first of which just finished a very wet warm-up session with Malaysian Pawi in first

And wow, did anyone see the Moto3? What an heroic, epic, legendary race by Khairul Idham Pawi of Malaysia, who destroys the entire field in his 3rd ever GP and wins by 26 seconds!!

Having 10 sports channels and not a single one of them is showing Moto GP yet again.

Come back to Europe, Eurosport has every qualifying + race for Moto3/2/GP and most of the training sessions as well

 

Edit: Sorry, I'm confusing you with Wanderer who is outside Europe

Maybe Eurosport in the Netherlands shows it, but not the Eurosport here . They haven't had the rights for 10 years now i think.

Ah that's a shame, Eurosport got the rights here since last year (which in my opinion is a big shame, because the commentator on the Dutch paid sports channel, which I have anyway, was way better).

MotoGP, here we go 

 

Dry race, meaning: 20 laps instead of 25 and a mandatory bike change at the end of the 9th, 10th or 11th lap.
