    It's not the first time he's had a shit start to a season and from memory he won one of the ones when he started weak, so "don't rule out Lorenzo". But yeah, his fault for qualifying amongst the riff raff. Easy mistake to make that in the first corner, of course it had to be Eeeaahhnonne at fault after he'd jumped the start.

    I'm nominating Dovi as the most unlucky rider on the grid alongside Pedrosa. Poor cunt can't catch a break.

    True. But he'd got in well too hot himself.

    the older ducs must really be hooking up.I cant really think why else its so odd.I dont thinks its that slippery because there have been few crashes.A couple of on board shots of dovi shows some pretty big straightline stepouts as did MM wee practise start moment
    Mechanical grip. The GP15 was always good at getting power down whereas all of the others needed more electronic assistance to get the power to the ground. It was both a strength and a weakness (they didn't want to turn because they were all about rear grip) of the Ducati's.

    One of the riders (can't remember who) was saying, "All weekend it's Rossi is slow, Rossi has a problem, then in the race your pitboard says '+0 Rossi'."

    And happy birthday Gaaza.

    Probably CC he said Rossi had shown no pace all weekend then bam.

    Wonder what the warning light was on CC's dash that slowed him down? Was it the: "Both Repsol riders who you have said are better than you have crashed so don't be a muppet light"? Either way top ride from him to stay up there.

    That Honda looks fucking horrible to ride, Dani's was cutting so many shapes in and out of the corners it was a wonder he was even able to pass the Duc.

    Was it just me or was there a bump exactly where the Repsol boys kissed tarmac?

    Rossi still has the problem turning. He was suspecting the new softer carcase Michelin front. Some harder carcase tyres were flown in, but due to the general stike in Argentina on Thursday they arrived too late to be used. It's not just Rossi, several of the others didn't like the new tyre either. Bautista was one such but it didn't seem to bother him too much in the race.

    Rossi is saying now though that he's thinking that it may be the bike rather than the tyre, because he had the same problem on wets.

    Good on Bautista. I have always rated him as much better than the result book showed. I would still put money on him being top 10 for the year.

    Otherwise - A good set of races. Moto2 was a procession but still a very watchable race.
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    With the last half of Moto2 as yet unwatched I'm still not finished viewing, but the highlight of the weekend for me was the massive fuck up MM made of his practice start. It's nice to know these aliens can be mortal. Of course he pulled off a miracle save, I'd have more likely face planted.

    What a race!
    Honda are having a shit time this year, though they own Cota, so they will prob come back huge for the next race. Though MM sure looked haunted. Maverick is a machine and you cannot be giving away points to him and MM knows it.
    Lorenzo still finding it hard top get a foot hold on the Ducati slippery slope.
    The Yamaha satellite boys are going freaking awesome!
    And Miller - My once high hopes are fading fast. Looking like WSB for that boy unless he pulls finger.
    Rossi showing his class race after race - fantastic!
    Rossi - "I have a lot of work to do to get to Vinales level" - Class
    Lorenzo - "I had top six potential" - Arse

    Dear George,

    You need to come out of the toilet.

    Seriously. How long do you think you can stay in there?

    Look, it's probably not true about Karel Abraham's dad bribing the President of Argentina to make it rain. But yes, it is true Karel is in second place on the grid on a Ducati that was made in 2015 from old Czech beer tins and chocolate.

    And you're right. Karel can't ride for shit and his creepy beard is probably full of weevils.

    It's also true Petrucci, whose Ducati is made out of paper and runs on kerosene, is starting in fourth.

    I promise I will find out "who the fuck Loris Baz is" and why his Ducati is also faster than yours, but I think you remember who Alvaro Bautista is, even though none of us are sure why his Ducati is also faster than yours.

    Actually, and it pains me to say this, yours is the slowest of all the Ducatis we have brought to Argentina. And this is after we put all the telemetry from all the other bikes into it. All of it, George, Swear to God. Just like you asked.

    You are, if I'm not mistaken (and I'm not because that Lin Jarvis bastard has not stopped laughing for the last three hours), you're starting in 16th.

    If you finish in that same position there will be no points. Not even any of those "special butter points" you think you should get because you are a Spartan.

    And please don't death-stare the mechanics. It's not helping. They put on the seat you told them to put on.

    Now stop texting the Argentine President and come out of the fucking toilet. I will give you a lolly.

    Regards,

    Gigi.
