Anyone following the WSBK & MotoGP races? WSBK season starter today in AUS (PI), watched the replay just now on Star-Sports Channel.
MotoGP: http://www.motogp.com
WSBK: http://www.worldsbk.com
For years I buy a MotoGP VideoPass for the whole season, ad free entertainment during the race weekends.

I'm definitely following them.
Check out this fantasy league over at MCN, you have a 10 million budget to "purchase" 2 riders of each class : MotoGP, WSBK and BSB : http://mcn.fantasyleague.com/
I joined the Motopod Listeners League, we could create a MyChinaMoto league and keep scores if there's enough interest !

Those kind of sports events bug me. The amount of advertising and sponsorship going on they should be free to view later in Asia, maybe free delayed online streaming and TV. Wrong business model. IMO When I do have a chance to watch them for free a quite enjoy them.
Anyone got any links?

The guys at Dorna (the holder of MotoGP commercial rights) are pretty good to trace and close all streaming links showing MotoGP...
I usually download their video podcasts on Itunes to see the highlights of each race + the "After the Flag" official MotoGP video podcast, with a video summary of all 3 classes (Moto3, Moto2 & MotoGP).
Other than that I just go sometimes to a sports bar in Shanghai and catch it live.

I can usually find live streams at one of these:
http://livetv.ru/en/
http://www.lshunter.tv/motor-sports-...ing-video.html
http://mypremium.tv/
http://www.tvembed.eu/
But the quality is hit-or-miss and sometimes a stream will get shut down in the middle of the race.
www.Soku.com is a good option if you can't find live streams. Someone posted both SBK races just a few days after the event.
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzU3MTk5MTY4.html -- Phillip Island Race 1
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzU3Mjg5NTQw.html -- Phillip Island Race 2
I found these just by typing in "SBK 2012". The commentary is in Chinese but that's not something that bothers me.
You're welcome.

MotoGP™ World Champion Casey Stoner announced on Thursday afternoon that this season would be his last in the sport.
Reigning MotoGP™ World Champion Casey Stoner confirmed on Thursday that he would retire from the sport at the end of the 2012 season.
The Repsol Honda rider addressed the media at the start of the official pre-event press conference for the Monster Energy Grand Prix de France, making a short statement in which he outlined the reasons behind his decision.
“After a long time thinking, a lot of time talking with my family and my wife, this has been coming for a couple of years now but at the end of this 2012 season I will be not racing in the 2013 Championship. I will be finishing my career at the end of this season in MotoGP, and go forward in different things in my life,” Stoner told the assembled press.
“After so many years of doing this sport which I love, and which myself and my family made so many sacrifices for, after so many years of trying to get to where we have gotten to at this point, this sport has changed a lot and it has changed to the point where I am not enjoying it. I don't have the passion for it and so at this time it's
better if I retire now.
“There are a lot of things that have disappointed me, and also a lot of things I have loved about this sport, but unfortunately the balance has gone in the wrong direction. And so, basically, we won't be continuing any more. It would be nice if I could say I would stay one more year, but then where does it stop? So we decided to finish
everything as we are now.”
Stoner, who won the 2007 MotoGP™ with Ducati and the 2011 crown with Honda, currently leads the 2012 standings by a single point ahead of Jorge Lorenzo heading into this weekend's fourth round.
