The https uses akamai servers:

www.motogp.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for the following names:
  a248.e.akamai.net , *.akamaihd.net , *.akamaihd-staging.net

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

$ host www.motogp.com
www.motogp.com is an alias for motogp.com.edgesuite.net.
motogp.com.edgesuite.net is an alias for a1661.g.akamai.net.
a1661.g.akamai.net has address 204.2.133.66
a1661.g.akamai.net has address 204.2.133.81

So when you attempt to use ssl, the cert is for akamai instead of
motogp.com.
