Zoiets zal het zijn ja. Maar zelfs dan is de standaard: Moto3 - MotoGP - Moto2. Dus beetje raar dat ze Moto3 en Moto2 omgooien.

We once again have a slightly odd schedule, with Moto2 preceding MotoGP, and Moto3 after the premier class, the reverse of the normal order. That sequence is repeated on Sunday, with the Moto2 race the first grand prix race of the day, with MotoGP at 1 PM local time, and Moto3 the last grand prix class to race, while the MotoAmerica series brings proceedings to a close.

TV rules

Why the strange schedule? The answer to almost every question about the schedule is almost always "because TV". A 1 PM race in Texas is at 8PM in Europe, and 7 PM in the UK. That is slightly better than a 9 PM start in the MotoGP heartlands of Spain and Italy.

And swapping round Moto3 and Moto2 makes sense too. Having Moto2 before MotoGP gives the premier class a consistent surface to work with, rather thing surprising them with a lack of grip on Sunday when faced with racing after Moto2 for the first time. And the mayhem of Moto3 is more likely to keep viewers glued to their screens if it is the last race of the day rather than Moto2.

Dit is wel een beetje wishful thinking, na de MotoGP denkt zeker 85% "joe, ik ga wat anders doen" denk ik
