Macau Gp On Tv

  1. I see that this is about to happen. Does anyone know if any channel has coverage or highlights this year?
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  2. Oh well, it was good while it lasted !
     
  3. I dont get the point and why people go out and do it. Less track time than a Ducati CSS day, huge shipping and travel costs.

    Yes its massively useful fro betting syndicates...but why would a sponsor (unless they are supplemented by the organisers) pay to send a rider and kit out there?!
     
  4. It's an invitation-only race and I believe that the organisers and the Macanese gov't make it worth their while. As a spectator you have to be in a ticketed stand otherwise the fuzz and their minions get very upset. It brings a lot of money in and the bikes are really a sideshow. It's a jolly.
     
  5. Very dangerous jolly. I s’pose its off season for most, as the grid is really UK road racing talent in the main.
     
  6. Yeah, I guess it's always been a fast and dangerous race but a lot of folks used to treat it as an end-of-year beano. It's always a bit heart-in-mouth. I worry about Crowe, he was off last year... ran on in practice and was collected by the pack that went down today.

  7. Farcical result really as Hicky had pulled the pin on lap two and was seven seconds up the road when the red flag went out.
     
    • Agree Agree x 2
    • Like Like x 1
  8. Good job Hutchy wasn’t involved I thought Macau was a daft place for him to comeback to racing.
     
  9. A complete crock of shit !!!
    I’ve always been a Rutter Fan but how can you win by leading one lap & then getting overtaken!
    In the first race he was about to be dicked by Davo Johnson :p
    On V4
     
  10. Tbf on Ritter he said Hickman won and apologised for it on Twitter

    bet he kept the winners bonus tho ;)
