We've made a decision not to watch any of it live anymore unless it's pissing it down and we really don't want to go out. Wasted too many Sundays pissing about and the racing wasn't that great last year and I don't think it will be much better this year. The risk is always the Sky box fucks up but with catchup and stuff now it's not as vital.

I don't watch live anymore, don't really have time with the kids, so I'm don't feel as though I'm missing out. Gone are the days that I'll watch every single FP and QP, plus morning warm up etc.

I watch very little live too, but I do avoid hearing or seeing the results as far as possible until I can watch it on demand. I normally watch Sunday evening or at least Monday evening.
I agree with it taking too much time out of the day on Sunday. It's the best TV there is, but its still only TV. Doing stuff beats watching other people doing stuff, hands down (even if their stuff is better than my stuff).

Before parenting I could fuck off early doors , get a good cycle in and it didn't feel as bad if wasted the next 4 hours watching TV.
I think it's just gp that's stagnating a bit as I have more enthusiasm for BSB tbh.

I'm getting bored with Moto GP, looking more towards Moto 3 and Dixon in M2, and anyways we have a great nephew coming up to the age where we can take him out doing various things once the weather is fair, so i'll be seeing not much live.

I mostly watch nearly live. Tape the 3 races, start the tapes at 15, 22 and 30 minutes respectively and switch off after the last man has crossed the line.

Haven't been watching live for many years. Will somtines see Moto3 live and then go out and enjoy the real world. Use to see a lot live back in the day, would even get up for the flyaways!
Don't know what I'm going this season, have not subscribed...... yet. Will probably cave in.

Doing stuff beats watching other people doing stuff, hands down (even if their stuff is better than my stuff).I'd rather do a trackday than watch other people ride around a short circuit; The last time that I went to a circuit and watched a race was Valencia MotoGP, 2006! In 1997, I got a load of my work mates together and we signed up for the Drayton Croft Race School at Mallory Park. About 2 weeks before the day, I crashed my bike and broke my left thumb, which meant wearing a cast for around month. I made the mistake of actually going along at watching; my mates dad, who drove me up, said he could hear me grinding my teeth and muttering stuff under my breath e.g "He got on the brakes too early; he's on the wrong line; he could've opened the throttle earlier etc". |

as above...Hardly any for the last couple of years as the kids have ruined what a good Sunday used to be (nursing a hangover, bacon, GP on sofa...Sunday dinner, pub.)

I like the WSB sprint race format, so looking forward to that....makes Saturday more interesting for MGP.
