Carmelo Ezpeleta, representing MotoGP's Liberty Media ownership, says thousands of cities have reached out about hosting street-circuit races, with Adelaide cited as a case study. The piece also questions whether MotoGP should follow Formula 1's playbook toward urban venues.
From where I sit, the phrase 'street circuit' is running ahead of the reality. Having seen this up close, urban tracks are a totally different animal on surface grip and run-off. Thousands of cities reaching out is one thing, how many can actually host a race is another. Even the Adelaide case shows how much prep this takes.

I want to see that Adelaide track map, street races always look great on camera.
Street circuits mean more curbs and barriers, curious how they'll handle safety.
Whether residents actually accept it seems like the real deciding factor here.
I hope they don't just copy F1, MotoGP has its own culture worth keeping.
Street circuits reportedly boost broadcast revenue, so it makes sense as a business call.
Thousands of cities sounds like an exaggeration, but who knows.
