Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

I guess to test new fixes for probs you may've encountered over the race weekend. Work for MV.

Stoked for Dovi. He's always been a fantastic rider.

And Cal Crutchlow has a new two year Honda factory contract but will continue to ride for LCR. That's a good deal for LCR I guess, with Honda picking up the tab.

Too old to die
Good for LCR and Honda. LCR can now fund a second bike and Honda have a crash Test dummy that is low profile and can put in good realistic data
The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

So I wonder if Miller will get a Honda contract or a VDS contract this time. According to Miller CC has been getting all the sexy bits from Honda anyways so I don't think it will make too bigger difference.
Miller should try and take the spare Aprilia seat that is about to become available (though it's shit of them to treat Lowes like that).
Semi-retired
He probably has his eyes on the aforementioned possibility of a second LCR seat... VDS will need to make room for Marquez junior at some stage I'm guessing?

They'll be ditching Rabat in favour for Morbidelli at the end of the year I think. Marquez junior still aint got it, though he's 20pts behind Morbidelli atm so maybe if he beats him he'll get the seat. Took him a fuck tonne longer than Marc to be competitive in moto2 though so I don't know if he's quite as good as our hero.

I was listening to the BT Sport MotoGP podcast, it's worth a listen, Colin Edwards and Keith Heuwen are in the commentary team along with experienced commentators Suzi Perry, Julian Ryder and Gavin Emmett among others. They were talking about Marquez minor and were wondering if he can win races outside Spain.
Colin Edwards was talking about things he had heard from Yamaha, and it's not like he doesn't have contacts there. He was saying that the 2017 bike still has problems with low grip tracks and with turning. It seems that if you are riding a Yamaha the 2015 version is the one to have. (The 2016 model had the fuel tank further back to change the weight distibution but was not proceeded with.) Yamaha have work to do.

That's not fair Pete. You forgot Aprilia...

My bad. They're certainly all having the fair share of issues at various tracks this year eh.
Weekend cruiser
All Aprilia have to do is find the fukin keys so they can start the bloody thing....

They are hinting at rider a change but I don't think that'll solve their problem if the bike can't make it to the finish line. Suzuki are also dropping hints about being dissatisfied with iannone's progress.
As Pete said they all have work to do, but Yamaha took a step backwards with their 2017 model so they have more than they should.
