I thought it was a pretty interesting track. It's a bummer that they are letting it go. I'd also have to think that while the people in China buy 160 million motorcycles a year, 90+% of them are scooters which really have nothing to do with MotoGP bikes.

Maybe they will come back in a few years...

Dude it was on Sunday. If anyone is going to wait that long to watch the shit, they don't really care about the result anyway.

Also, it's probably a bad idea to be reading MotoGP news in general if one is waiting that long to watch the races.

Too far away and this dumps an extra week of waiting time for all of the importing hassles. Also no one in China cares about it so it was really a case of them traveling halfway around the world for a race the Chinese don't even want.

Also getting up super early to watch practice, qualifying, and the race bums me out too.


Also, as entertaining as last weeks race was, it really isn't an awesome track for motorcycles.
