With five Spanish riders in MotoGP and Spain’s new golden haired rider, Jorge Lorenzo, who seems to be on his way to taking the 2010 MotoGP Championship title, ten riders in Moto2 with Toni Elias leading in the the standings, eight riders in 125cc, and three Spaniards in the first three spots in the standings, you’d think that Spanish audiences would be more than happy to tune in to watch the races, right?Wrong.
