Great, Britain's round of motoGP moves to the most boring, least spectator friendly race circuit.  I can't wait.

I was every GP a Silverstone before it moved to Donington and there was some fantastic racing but if you blinked you missed, haven't been there since but the circuit has had major changes so might be better but it still going to be fast, but look at some of the other circuits fast and good racing or twisty and processional?

 I am not keen on Donington your too far from the track and those ***** (insert own explitive) airplanes every 5 mins drive me mad, the track is nice to ride though but not as good as Oulton pity we can't get the MotoGP there but the M6 grinds to halt everyday as it is so you would grid lock Cheshire with a MotoGP crowd for days!

Indeed, one race in 30 years. Can you recall any other great races at silverstone?

or Lydden?

the toilet (sic) would need upgrading. 

Donington is a cool track, and good for spectators, which in the age of multicast international TV counts for precisely f**k all. We've all had issues getting in and out of there, but Silverstone, christ, it's dull.

What's the next step in the Formula1isation of motogp?, after traction control and shared use of the same circuits could we expect the adoption of additional wheels in the coming years until we have a rival series?

Then we'll just need a sexual deviant at the helm and we're sorted.

Silverstone - 45 minutes from my house, and I don't want the GP there. Nuff said.

Sliverstone would be bad enough to put decent people off watching Moto GP. It's dull as ditchwater.

Great.  It's 4 hours to get to Donington from where I live, and Silvershite is another 1+ from there at best.  Not only that, but it is a truly awful circuit for bike racing.  A plague on all those responsible.

Perhaps the constant track invasions at Donington had something to do with it (if its true).
