I have not seen any postings yet, nor have I visited MotoGp to see what the latest news there is. All I can say is, I'm here! Such a thrill. Today was mostly figuring out logistics: how to get in, where is my seat, where are concessions, bathrooms, etc. But I did watch FP2 for all three classes, and MotoE (I think they should start airing it, but I'll get to that in a minute). My seat is at the finish end of the front straight. I will miss any last curve action and the finish, but watching these bikes go from full out into the chicane of the first three turns is amazing. Each class was exciting to watch in its own way, but the two that really got me were MotoGP, going from so fast over the rise and braking way before the turn then into T-1, and MotoE, with the way the tires would squeal as they slowed for T-1. And, with the MotoE, you don't have exhaust sounds masking the tire squeal. I found it as exciting as the other classes, and believe it merits live broadcast. Maybe more later, after I check out the website for more information. Kevin

Thanks for sharing, its good to start traveling again and seeing events like this! MotoE will be interesting, looking forward to when they start airing it.

Yes. Considering that one wants to conserve battery with an electric motorcycle (that's been my experience with my Lightning Strike), you do not use the motor to slide the rear into the turn. And, it really sounded like the squealing that comes from braking. With a few of the riders, I could see the rear end come around. It was cool.

I have looked at Zero for an ebike, what's the story on the lightning strike? I have a few years experience with ev cars but nothing (zero) experience with ebikes.
