Big Red S was telling me it’s much better to pay for dorna rather than BT sport if all you want is motoGP. It’s still £172!

Valentino Rossi made his GP debut 25 years ago in the 1996 Malaysian 125cc race. In that race was Jorge Martinez, who made his GP debut in the 50cc Spanish GP in 1982…

In the race that Martinez made his debut was Eugenio Lazzarini, who made his GP debut in the 125cc race at Monza in 1968, a race in which Phil Read finished 2nd.

Read made his GP debut at the 1961 IOM TT, and in that race was Arthur Wheeler.

Arthur Wheeler raced in the first ever GP - the 350cc race in the IOM in 1949.

Rossi, Martinez, Lazzarini, Read and Wheeler - 5 riders spanning the whole of GP history.
