    Why would that be a surprise? I'm half expecting one to crash and the other to run off at turn two and be ficing around at the back for the rest of the race.

    Considering Dovi came in a very close 2nd place the previous 2 years on a bike which may not be as good as the 2017 machine they should be able to do the business, even if it's only for that race. Going to be a farking interesting season that is for sure.

    Wonder how Jorge will react if his "#2" rider starts beating him every weekend?

    Still up to doing that $100 betting challenge? I'll beg the wife for some money

    Prior to the last test the pundits were picking George to do well at Qatar so it won't be a surprise if he does. Apparently the track suits the Ducati. Or at least minimises its disadvantages?

    Last year in this thread during a discussion with J.A.W. about crap commentators, I mentioned a young Australian guy named Harry Lloyd who lived in Europe and worked for Dorna at the time and had started doing commentary on the CEV series. Last I heard he was back in Britain doing PR for Mahindra.

    It seems he is moving up, I was pleased to hear him working with Steve English (who is Irish) on the WSBK broadcast from Phillip Island. Lloyd's knowledge of motorcycle racing events that happened before he was born is startling. Be interesting to see how he goes as a commentator. I wish him well, with luck he could replace Nick Harris sooner rather than later.

    Is he the young guy who's been doing some commentary alongside Harris in the off season?

    Dunno I havent heard that. Lloyd did the Superbikes today, he's got a fairly obviously Australian accent.

    Just buy some Rossi merch. You'll be able to sit anywhere and the Rossi fans won't throw stuff at you.

    If he slowed down a bit it may help with the stuttering and self correction ? He was better than the previous screaming poms anyway and worked in well with the other Irish dude.
    Why they feel the need to jabber away flat out I don't know,less chat would be better.

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