Has there ever been a more open MotoGP championship? With just 22 points separating the top five in the championship, the riders return to action this weekend in Italy after a fortnight's break.
The San Marino Grand Prix is the first of a double-header at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli track with the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix following next weekend. The first of nine races in what looks like a hectic 11 weeks, the San Marino GP will once again see reigning champ Marc Marquez left on the sidelines nursing an arm injury.
Marquez's absence has opened the door for other riders to make their mark on the Championship, but with four different race winners in the previous five races, no single rider has so far been able to really take the initiative at the top.
Yamaha star Fabio Quartararo currently heads up the table on 25 points, but after disappointing showings during both races in Austria, the French racer is very much looking over his shoulder coming into this race.
Read on as we explain below how to get a MotoGP live stream for this week's San Marino Grand Prix.
