Forget the F1 snoozefest and hype. There's only one motorsport contest in town and that is the thrilling fight between the factory Ducati ridden by the current world champion, Francesco Bagnia and the underdog, Jorge Martin riding a sattelite Ducati.
After 39 of 42 races they are separated by 7 points with 62 points on the table.
Tune in at 17.00 Sunday 19/11 UK time for the next instalment.
P.S. Is Lewis Hamilton the worst dressed man ever?

    Not very safe when you park it up.

    Not sure that your practical considerations are relevant to the title fight.

    Nowhere to put your buns and you can't hide in it in the event of an altercation.

    No contest between the snoozefest of F1 and MotoGP...... MotoGP is proper racing.

    My bad for dissing F1. I've watched F1 at Spa Francorchamps and Silverstone a number of times as well as seeing Ayrton Senna work his magic at Donnington in the peeing rain. The current "spectacle" is a poor imitation of real racing.

    Ah yeah. Moto GP is much more entertaining, Casey Stoner hanging on the Ducati was a real battle.

    I can't believe John McGuinness is going to give the TT another go next year, he's 52 now.

    I very rarely watch sport but MotoGP is one of the few sports that will hold my attention, even if I don't follow the leaderboard.
    My lack of interest means I don't pay for any sports channels though so generally only ever see highlights.

    The TT must be the best free show on earth. McGuinness will "only" be lapping at about 130mph average! Unfortunately even that will not be enough to challenge for the win.
    If you only ever watch motorsport live once in your life, go to the TT. Better than F1, Le Mans, WRC etc..
    Cyclists travel as foot passengers on the ferry, no extra for the bike. Strap on some camping gear, you won't regret it.
