    His main problem was changing the front to a medium on the grid. He should know by now that he can't use that tyre unless snow is falling!

    Rider of the day for me was Dovi. He was very close to winning.

    Well that was a serious fuck up. With about seven laps to go the screen goes black with an "End of the recorded programme" message. Caused by the delay of course.
    Bugga! Another one of those and I'll have shell out for the MotoGP coverage.

    I don't know if that was SKY or my box. Came across a site on the web and watched the last laps with excited Spanish commentary.

    It was picked before hand that Ducati could do well at Qatar because the track minimises the shortcomings of the bike. The warning was not to consider the performance there to be "normal". We'll see.

    I cheered when I heard Voda weren't allowed to buy them out, that was the lifeline I hoped they wouldn't get so that the market might free up a bit.

    Considering Dovi finished in exactly the same spot as he had the previous 2 years I'd say they're looking about the same (in relation to the other manufacturers). Either way it was a sweet ride by Dovi on soft tyres.

    You had me worried there. I've just checked there was still 20% free. Of course there is about to be more...

    Depends where you live. Mine stopped half way through Moto3 because of rain fade, but didn't start recording afterwards. WTF Sky?

    It wasn't that the coverage was shitty. It's that the coverage stopped.

    Vodafone as much as it has fucked me about no end, have finally after years of shitty internetness updated our local tower so I now in the middle of nowhere, have brilliant HD Motogpness . No jerky shit & the Missus can do her thing on her computer at the same time.
    So good onya you multinational muthafuckers & I even went so far as to ring their service center & after waiting for ever for someone to answer my call , the woman on the end of the line was surprised somewhat, that she wasn't being ranted at but thanked.

    And......Im going to go to P.I

    Life is good & the racing is awesome.

    its one thing to have a good test and a good bike,quite another to find your self 5th or 6th and well behind,and not making much inroads to the frontrunners.Even after MV had made it o the front he didnt have it all his own way.His passes were very neat and in the end he showed his real talent.I would say we have seen the first of very many appearances in that position

    No problems with Sky coverage.
    I didn't allow for the delayed start so the copying stopped on me,but I had got up to watch the big race anyway.
    Crutchless could've been top 5 so he bleated ??
    Little Zarco did great for a while. (I had predicted Tech 3 would have a better year).

    ps don't forget WSB this weekend Aragon.

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
