Come on - Moto3 was bonkers - they were 5 or 6 abreast going into most corners. And there was plenty of action in MotoGP, with a ninth different winner in 9 years and the outcome still in doubt at the final corner.

I didn't watch Moto2 as SWMBO decided we needed to go grocery shopping. But Jake Dixon's post-race rant was entertaining. And justified.

Oh I dunno - alieix's stalking of bagpus and getting the pass in on the last lap was quite the build up of tension and olivera's storming through the pack was great. Not to mention m&m and quataroface spannering other riders.
Quite apart from the actual racing I find it fascinating watching motogp riders handling those bastard bikes so I'm glad I went & watched.

I thought the MotoGP race was consistently interesting and a slow burner that intensified as the race went on. Aleix's decisive pass on Pecco was a thing of beauty.
