American Fan Seals MotoGP Title With Impressive Late Charge

As the French Grand Prix was run and won, the winner was not as obvious as the MotoGP pilot who crossed the line first. The real winners were the 100,000 strong witnesses to the race and those who participated in a ritualistic celebration of speed. The French Grand Prix is as much about the fans as it is the racing. They demonstrated the "Esprit De Corps" that is the calling card of the French. It was the fans of MotoGP who established the race pace. Who is up to the task of matching them?

Dorna Sports, the operator and promoter of the MotoGP World Championship racing series has entered a brave new world of eSports and if it's early results are anything to go by, they are on to a winning formula with a Championship series which puts the fans front and center. It is just the latest in a series of moves from the Spanish company that is elevating the elite level motorcycling series to rival Formla 1 for thrills, spills and dollar bills.
