ltxcn.top𒊎 viewers voted Silverstone as the most entertaining MotoGP rꦗace of the 2016 season.

While five of last year's races exceeded 9 out of 10 for entertainment value, the Bဣritish Grand Prix was the only event to break that mark this year.

Howev🎀er,ꦇ the season average still increased from 7.1 to 7.2.

Polls were set-up after each race, asking ltxcn.top viewers: "Tell us exactly how ente♊rtaining you, the watching fans, thoughtꦺ it was by awarding a mark out of 10." A score of 10 meant 'fantastic', while 1 meant 'dull'.

Silverstone, ranked fifth last season, emerged on top by a margin of 0.3 over the Czech Republic round a🍰t Brno.

The British GP saw Maverick Vinales storm to his first every MotoGP victory, and the first for Suzuki since 2007, while 𓆏behind him a thrilling battle raged between Cal Crutchlow, Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez, Andrea Iannone and Dani Pedrosa.

After some close moves, and a little contact, home hero Crutchlow emerged on top of that battle to finish 3.4s from Vinales. LCR Honda's Crutchlow had taken his first MotoGP victory in the previous wet-dry Brno round, fighting his way from 1🥀5th on the gridꦉ as several of the leaders struggled with tyre wear.

Completing the 2016 top thre☂e, and just edging out Phillip Island, was the C𒅌atalunya round - where Valentino Rossi rose from sixth to catch and pass local star Marc Marquez. Dani Pedrosa was elevated to third after a dramatic clash between Jorge Lorenzo and Andrea Iannone.

At the lower end of your entertainment ranking were Qatওar, Japan and Austin. Losail won last year's vote with a massive 9.7 out of 10, but could only manage 5.7 this time around. Motegi saw Marquez surprisingly wrap up the title with three rounds to go, after mistakes fro⭕m both Rossi and Lorenzo.

Austin was again dominated by Marquez, who led from the first t♔o last lap - at an event no other rider has won at since it joined the MotoGP calendar in 2013.
