Life just got more wonderful.

I suspect if you renewed before the end of season last year they may have chucked it in the package?

Individual rider cams appear to be about 4 sec behind commentary feed. Which can be great to see 2 angles of the same incident

Yeah I forgot to disable subscription and was startled when suddenly a chunk of money was gone from my account to a foreign unknown European company!

Worth it.

Looks like Iannone's soul has gone to Zarco. Might as well call him Average Joe now.

Hey Autech, you rich yet?

That's all I have this morning, clinging to a slight lead, after poor result.
Zarco tho was a spark for a while. Crashlow could've podiumed but for a crash ! (his opinion ).

Dear Vale.

10 Titles?

I think not.

More rich in happiness to see my fav rider overcome yet another massive injury to his collarbone and smash the very best in the business. Great to see the emotion on the podium from him, they seem like robots a bit sometimes.

Oh and JL on the podium, on a Ducati at Jerez... Whod've thunk it? Most importantly he's beating all the other Duc's now which is the true bench mark after all.

3 winners from 4 races...

For those who were wondering why Rossi complained of tyre problems when MV didn't seem to have a problem? They both had tyre probems this time out.
It seems the Yamaha is more susceptible to variation in tyres than the Honda, last year George needed the right tyres or he was lost.

Jackass received a "Dear Sir" letter advising him he'd been fined 1000 Euros. Reaction is mixed, some say if you are bunted into the gravel at 80mph you are entitled to give the perpetrator a shove. Others were concerned that the shovee might possibly already be injured.

I'm looking forward to the next Dear George. It'll have to be different. Before the race George was saying he's faster 'cause he's getting to grips with the rear brake. Apparently the Ducs have to use the rear brake to turn. The factory bikes have a hand lever to control the rear brake, it's referred to as a "thumb brake" in quotation marks which implies that's not quite what it is.

Zarco should be nothing if not motivated next time out.

Meantime testing tonight our time. Yamaha will be hoping for a stiffer carcase Michelin.

Like Rossi this race. Unusual for him to be the last Yamaha home that's for sure.

He did his usual Sunday set up gamble/guess and this time it didn't pay off. Kudos for trying though! He's still leading the championship so did 100% the right thing, a rookie (or Crutchlow) would have binned it trying to keep up.

Shits getting real murky in regards to what is and isn't. Last year was DP lost because of his weight at Jerez, this year he won (in part) because of it... Ducati can't turn well and is shit at Jerez, JL and AD put in incredible races. Jerez is a Yamaha track but the two factory riders were miles back.

The only thing for certain is Andrea Iannone is a fly unworthy of an Aliens time, Crutchlow still is a crasher, Zarco can carve up a field of riders like a baws and Jack Miller has a good shove!

Zarco, a future Motogp champion? Yes he's got a good bike under him but can't help but think he's got a bit more going than that.

Oh yeah the first few laps were interesting! Zarco carving up senior MotoGP riders (couple of them prev world champions) like they were standing still...! Crazy Frenchman!
