RTM has let down motorcycling fans by not showing the live telecast of the Australian Moto GP on Oct 5.

I see no reason why you cannot telecast the Australian race live as it is part of the circuit. Malaysia stages the F1 and Moto GP every year and the latter should be telecast live wherever it is being held.

The reason many diehard fans stay away from the Malaysian GP is that there is no live telecast of other races but only a delayed one which starts at 11.30pm.

I’m sure the coming Malaysian Moto GP will show only the premium class live but not the 125 and 250cc races.

We spent millions on the Sepang circuit. So what is live coverage of other races in terms of finance? Malaysia is a sporting nation and should act like one.
