MotoGP 2012 Provisional Calendar

See Dorna look to be favouring Spanish riders again with 4 planned GPs again, one is subject to contract (Jerez). Italy and America get two GP, why can't there be two British GPs, there is nothing stopping it, and Foggy Esses looks easier to get through?

Yes, but all of Spain is about as big as one US state, we have 50 of them.

I'm for another GP in UK as well, we can just call it another Italian GP. You know, so that the Brits can cheer for that other Italian clown Simonchelli.

I think one in the uk is plenty. I think 2 in the usa is plenty, i think 3 in spain is too many.

Can you imagine 4 GPs in the UK? That would be like 4 GPs in California. That would certainly make me go broke compa.

I don't think America should get three GPs for the simple fact that they don't get the numbers through the gate. Indi looks weird with little over 15% of seats taken. But saying all that the only reason Spain gets so many GPs is down to Dorna and we saw what an unfair advantage that proved to be last year. I also read recently that Dorna's parent company, Bridgepoint, might be getting the rights to WSBK, I wonder if that will see a turn around on Italy's advantage?

I guess 3 sell out Spanish rounds pay for 3 empty American ones.

hehe thats about it - but look at the need to maintain and or increse bike sales in the US hence 3 races at a short term cost to satisfy the factories supporting the whole series.

Great advantage to a degree to the home riders - spanish ones more to the point.
