I look forward to being a part of it” 🎙️ - #AustrianGP 🇦🇹 /9g7oPupWd1 As a result, the news leaked out and some riders learned about the change from the media. MotoGP officials briefed the teams on the decision and left it up to them to tell the riders. The announcement got off to a contentious start. In theory, expenses will not increase for the teams because the sprint race will replace a practice session, so the total amount of track time will be similar. On the Saturday afternoon of each race weekend, the MotoGP riders will compete in a half-distance race that pays reduced points - 12 points for a win instead of 25.

"We have been looking at other sports, different possibilities, and we are trying to accommodate ourselves to offer a better show, especially for the fans, and this includes the promoters, and for television," said Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of series organizer Dorna, in Saturday's press conference.Īnd while more changes are promised, the sprint races are the first move. And in 2021 Formula One began adding sprint races to three rounds per season. Of course World Superbike expanded its already busy weekend schedule in 2019 by adding the Tissot Superpole sprint race on Sunday, in addition to the full-length races on both Saturday and Sunday. While the sport is healthy by many metrics, organizers feel they have to do more and are changing the one-race format that has existed for more than 70 years, since world championship grand prix racing began. Thus the changes.Īttendance at the recent British Grand Prix was the lowest ever for a MotoGP event at Silverstone. A variety of technical factors has made overtaking more difficult.Īll of this has left MotoGP looking a little diminished. On top of Rossi's retirement, the sport has been without its biggest star, Marc Márquez, still recovering from yet another major surgery on his arm.Īnd while talent is deep and closely matched - the top 10 in qualifying this weekend at the Red Bull Ring in Austria were separated by just 0.564 seconds - the racing itself has sometimes been a little too processional.
Die-hard fans may pay, but recruiting new fans is almost impossible under a "pay first and get hooked later" business plan. In many countries, televised races are behind a paywall. Ticket prices are high at many races, at a time when inflation is squeezing household budgets around the world. Attendance was notably down at Mugello in the heart of Valentino Rossi country for the first race where the local hero wasn't competing. Fan attendance at the recent British Grand Prix was the lowest ever for a MotoGP round at the Silverstone circuit. MotoGP is struggling against a few headwinds right now. But before I have my say, let's look at what's going on. Personally, I think it's missing the point. It's MotoGP's attempt to fix what's ailing the series (and organizers say it's just the beginning), but opinions are mixed about whether it will do any good. Kyle Switch Plates carries a variety of solutions for electrical boxes that don't sit flush with your wall.MotoGP officials announced Saturday that the weekend schedule will undergo the biggest change in the history of the series next year with the addition of half-distance sprint races for the MotoGP class on Saturdays, along with the usual Sunday races. When your electrical box protrudes from the wall instead of sitting flush, you can easily correct the problem with a deep switch plate. Deep Switch Plates Solutions - Cover Your Protruding Electrical Boxes Otherwise, you may have sunken devices in a plate that's too deep.
Note that you can add spacers behind your device to lift it up even more if a plate is slightly deeper than you need. You can measure in mm if that helps.įor situations with a distance of 5/16", our deep metal plates are the perfect fit.įor greater distances, see your options below. It's important to get a precise and accurate measurement, to ensure you order the correct solution. If your ruler has extra space on the end or your tape measure is worn out, try using cardboard or a piece of paper to mark the size of the gap, then measure the paper on a flat surface. Look for the screws holding the device in the electrical box & measure from the wall to the top of that screw. The distance you want to measure is from the wall to the top side of the device (the highest spot the cover plate will rest on). You can also measure the distance between a floating device and the wall's surface. Keep in mind plates made in different materials will have different thicknesses (ex: metal vs plastic ones). Use a ruler placed flat against your current cover plate to see how large of a gap needs to be filled.
