In a wild and wooly Valencia GP Pecco wins the race and the title. First back-to-back championships for an Italian since Valentino Rossi did it in 2009, Pecco does it on an Italian bike for the cherry on top for the Tifosi.

If you like motorsports and don't watch MotoGP you are missing out. It is the best racing you will see.

Pecco will keep the #1 number plate for another year.

It sucks that we have a better chance of seeing live footage of Bigfoot than MotoGP these days in the US.

We need Netflix to hook us up with a series to get people interested so we can watch it.

But it would suck because it would make COTA unbearable like F1.

All the feature races are on NBC or CNBC, I think they did 5 races live on NBC this year. But no Sprint or other coverage unless you get the VideoPass but it has all the MotoGP, Moto2, and Moto3 sessions live and on demand.

The speed and lean angles coupled with the beating and banging is like F1 had a baby with NASCAR and pretty much nothing matches how close the racing is except after yellow flags.

The lean angle is what freaks me out. While 65 is pretty common I think Marc Marquez holds the record on his Repsol Honda at 70 degrees. I simply can't make the physics work in my brain.

It was a fun season. Sad to see Martin come up short but all credit to Pecco. I feel like MotoGP could take off quickly in the States as fast as F1, but the exposure would need to grow significantly.
