I loved watching it on beIN Sports when it first came out, but ever since I could never find any coverage. And now that Ducati introduced a bike with a solid state battery, MotoE would've been the perfect opportunity to stress test the technology. Instead, DORNA pulls this CRAP???  WTF???

you have to remember motogp is in a bit of financial trouble here.  They are not rolling in the billions like some other sports are.  They are trying to hide that but at the same time, cut expenditures.   This is a good one to cut,  right now the only main player was Energica who is currently on Haitus.  Ok Ducatti came out with something, but now it's only them mainstream really until Energica gets back on their feet or some other real competition of this magnitude comes out.

the whole e/ green .. is being eaten by the cancer and lies they used to push it, and scam billions of dollars with, and the chickens are coming home to roost.  People are seeing through the global warming bullshit, save the world go electric bla bla vomit... but unfortunately because you deceived them on that, they don't want to hear / listen / believe anything else about electric / green etc either anymore no matter how truthful it may actually be this time.   In this manner they kind of stepped on their own petard.

Er, the global warming thing is irrefutably, categorically, absolutely real. We are going to be wiped out within a century. The lie is that EVs were going to save everyone. They won't make a piddle of difference to our fate. I'm just resigned to it, but I think I'll try and enjoy the bit I've got left.

Cool, since were all doomed, we'll never make it, ill stop worrying about it, and just have my fun on my bike, electric, gas, or whatever.
oh, and fire up the grill too,  a big fat juicy porterhouse or a brisket slow smoked,  that's food for the gods !!  hickory with a little mesquite.... heaven.  if you are doing pork like a big ole ham from a hog you just busted,  maple, cherry wood makes heaven, otherwise for chops loins use nutwood.  the smokier the better.

I hold an even more nihilist viewpoint. There won't be any humans in 2100. Humanity will be ended way before GW has any impact whatsoever, most likely be the exponential evolution that is about to change life from carbon to silicon in the next two or three decades at most. Plus all the political unrest and wars that will happen in the process. And once silicon is in charge, the climate will change way beyond what humans could even dream of.

eyeball  fluid makes great lubricant and each person thrown into a coal burning plant can provide about 120kw or so useful energy.
the bones make great potash for more plants to incinerate for fuel for electricity for the ai monster.

I wish this forum had a "likes" feature.

I was thinking the same. I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in the UK they don't include MotoE at all in the MotoGP highlight TV show. You have to go and find it on YouTube if you want to watch it. It's no wonder they're not getting the viewing figures if it's hidden away!

I have the MotoGP app and watch the MotoGPs and the MotoEs from practices to races. I watch Moto2 or 3 if I have time.
