MOTOGP » Future of MotoGP: Asia and Brazil in, Spain and US out?


This might fly in the face of my personal beliefs, but its awesome that there are 3 US rounds, but overall all 3 rounds should be dropped and simpily because americans seem more happy with the more mainstream sports(e.g. the NFL, NBA, MLB, and collegiated sports) as oppose to something like motorcycle racing. Some might point to AMA as a reason for GPstay in america, but reality even that is lacking the mainstream appeal whether you are talking about Supercross or AMA Pro. The same can be said about the X-Games FMX. Going back to GP though, I place a huge part of the blame on Dorna for the lack of GP appeal in america and mainly due to their reluctance to market the sport to the wider mainstream audience.

F1 » Porsche: F1 not road relevant


While I would like to see Porsche(even Toyota, Ford, Honda, to name a few) return to F1, personally I don't blame them for not wanting to come back as the sport its too expensive to compete in. Ontop of that with the current economic climate sponsorship is getting tough to come by even for works/factory teams. Just look at the case of Yamaha in MotoGP. @Redda Bulla I agree with your list when you talk about them globally, however geographically its a different issue. I mean despite its popularity on the global stage, MotoGP is still stuck in the nitch when it come to a big market like america.
