Thee MOST entertaining GP of 2016

QUESTION: Hypothetically, YOU own MotoGP, would the meager 3.96 rating for The Grand Finale Valencia have any affect on the way you manage the sport?

Hypothetical, your cousin Guido, who you know is always trying to swindle you, say even cuts a deal to run a family reunion at a circuit in Wales that doesn't exist... owns MotoGP, would the meager rating for The Grand Finale Valencia have any affect on the way he would manage the sport?

Edit to add, Hint: There may be a message in the contrasting rating, as voted by the fans (and their pockets which BUY subscriptions, represent eyes on TV, and constitute the majority of the people the promoters of the ' business' target.)

Yes.

I'd stop running the final race at Valencia and slot Valencia in somewhere else if the money the promoters are paying is too good to refuse. I'd eliminate two of the four Spanish races and replace one with Laguna Seca, and the other at Suzuka. Motegi would get turned into the Salzburgring.

Wouldn't you want to see MotoGP back here at the expense of bumping two Spanish rounds and Motegi?

The Circuit of Wales debacle would be ended, and the British Grand Prix would be moved from Silverstone back to Donington Park if everything is right there, and if not there, then Brands Hatch.

Then, I'd start focusing on shifting the sport away from Valentino Rossi, which is obviously immensely difficult. But you have to recognize when the time is right to move on.

Guido however would not give two ..... and would be thinking about how to grant The Doctor anti-aging drugs.
 
Where do fans watch from there? Tree stands?

The hillside. Just like the Red Bull Ring. Grand stands and hospitality suites are for ....... ........



Such an incredible track...the layout is so deceptive as it looks like nothing.

But it was a track for real men.
