    The Husqvarna Moto3 road racer has made it all the way to the podium. Third place in the Czech Grand Prix this weekend. I wonder if they are going to back-pedal on the "no more street bikes" philosophy?

    Sooo, that means it beat the KTM? I thought that was against corporate policy...
    Somebody forgot to tell the race team I guess. HA!

    Sure is. Unfortunately our tv networks here in Australia can give the viewers a raw deal sometimes. when it was the 500/250/125 classes we only ever got the 500cc/ MotoGP broadcast. Then a few years back the network with the broadcast rights started broadcasting the entire fixture each week. We got spoiled watching all the Moto2 and Moto3. This year, they decided to onsell the rights to a cable company here, so the cable get the Moto3/Moto2/MotoGP while the free tv just shows the MotoGP. Can you believe it. They drop the free Moto3 live broadcasts.... and an Australian rider (Jack Miller) Has lead the championship for the whole year so far. Talk about bad timing.

    Sorry to disappoint anyone who doesn't already know but the Husky IS a KTM with Husky written all over it., Marketing . Like the Derbi was an Aprilla. Or the Cagiva was a Suzuki ( ok that was only on the road registered ones and only the motor).
    Sally and I bought a MotoGP online streaming video feed so we get all three and commercial free. But we have a vested interest . Jack is from our old motorcycle road racing club and want to see how he goes. BTW the Moto3 racing is the best racing I have ever seen. The last race had 16 riders in contention for 1st to the point where 1.8secs seperated the furst 16 riders, no one had the lead for more than 3 laps and there was constant passing all over those 16 riders. AMAZING racing.
