Not sure what you were linking to, but it just brought up some soccer videos that wouldn't play.

One of the comments mentioned one of the other 2 US MotoGP races being dropped. I never put any stock in you tube posts but it does raise the question with 3 MotoGP races in the states are all 3 going to keep going or will they be dropping one? Anyone know what the current contrcts for the other 2 tracks are?

Indy has the shortest contract of the two. But think about it this way, Laguna Seca at the end of July, Texas in mid August, and Indy at the end of August. It could work out as easy as that. As it is right now they run Laguna at the end of July, then they go to Europe (Assen I think) in mid August to come back to Indy at the end of August. Not very cost efficient if you ask me.

Yeah, I'm surprised they don't try to run all 3 here in the states back to back to back.

Heh, I agree with you there, but most racing leagues don't really follow a logical 'tour order' like bands do going from country to country, state to state. Then again, I guess when you shell out millions and millions of dollars each race, what's a few thousand more for plane tickets?

Wonder how many planes it takes to bring all the teams over. That'd be a sight to see.

If they cancel anything I would guess it'd be Indy.
