    I see they're talking about universal ECUs for WSB. ????????
    I don't think I'd bet against little johnny winning a third Title. The traffic in the second Legs when he wins the first Leg, doesn't seem to bother him one little bit?
    However his team mate ain't as good in traffic and suffers.(I get a giggle at that).

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.

    I don't think anything bothers little Johnny. He almost makes it look easy compared to his rivals. Why, oh why couldn't he have got on a competitive bike years ago...

    In the Brit Queen's Birthday honours there is mention of the award of an MBE to Mr Rea. Relatively rare recognition of a motorcyclist.

    Also although not a motorcyclist, but no doubt known to us all, the list also features Sir Billy Connolly.

    Billy may claim to be a biker as he once drove(rode?) a trike.. Despite that he deserves a MBE for his efforts to have the world piss itself laughing.

    Rea will get one because he realises the dream of all politicians by crushing his opposition beneath his feet.

    Don't know much about BC then do you
    He was quite a prolific biker in his younger years & was interviewed many a time by the english magazines in the 70s & 80s about some the exploits he & his riding buddies got upto

    I stand/sit corrected Sir. I was reading those Mags at the time and don't recall seeing anything about him - or perhaps is is simply my mind giving up a little bit more.

    Far Canal. If you have not watched the race yet all I can say is "Distant man-made waterway"....

    Nice to see Melandri's wife . Hope he does well again so we see more of her.

    Yes, yes and yes please.

    Of note is that I stayed awake and watching through both races - and not just for the chance to ogle Mrs Melandri.

    Melandri supporters get a special bonus in the shape () of Manu when he podiums.

    Quite happy to see Johnny reach the half way mark in the Championship 50 points ahead.
    Sykes is picking up the crumbs ?
    great effort by VandeeMark , the yam seems to be improving tho Lowes is still jumping off too often.

    To me, the surprise is that Rea is only 50 points ahead. He seemed so dominant at he start of the season that I feared a total whitewash.

    So tyres are not just a problem in Motogp,WSB are having their own fun.
    No wonder Rea was a bit spooked ???
    Little bit of a break before we go to Laguna and time to sort it huh ?
