MotoGP Comes To The US And Theres An App For It (Of Course)

12__GIX2525.mediagallery_output_image_[1920x1080]Race fans, start your engines!Today marks the start of the Red Bull US Grand Prix - the first stop in the US of the MotoGP series - at the world renowned Laguna Seca raceway. For those unfamiliar, MotoGP is the pinnacle of motorcycle racing and the equivalent of F1 but on two wheels. By now you're probably wondering why a racing series - much less a motorcycle racing series - is on TechCrunch, right? For starters, the prototype motorbikes racing in MotoGP are purpose-built and the technology used in these bikes eventually make there way down to production bikes that you and I can purchase. More importantly, the technology (fuel efficiency, anti-wheelie, etc.) that's being refined by the likes of Honda, Yamaha and Ducati make the bikes we purchase safer and more reliable. Not quite the technology we normally cover on TechCrunch but important nonetheless.
