Too old to die
I have enjoyed the Internet fury over this debacle, including cries to move the GP to another track as punishment.
My favourite has been to finish (or even start) the Wales track...We know that would never get rained out. They could make the surface out of mesh suspended over a fucking deep drainage channel.
The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

Yesterday was very nice here and I went for a ride in the morning. There are rides on today and tomorrow but I'll pass on those, weather is OK though. If it's fine next week I'll head out in search of good coffee.Originally Posted by roogazza

Warm, spring day in the north Waikato. Could feel the tyres gripping again.

Not far from Brum, caught a coach 2 hours each way? would have been an awesome idea if there had been a race.

I immediately thought of my many sojourns to Italy every year. 29 hours of flying and airports etc.(then back again). Since 2004, Mugello has been very lucky and maybe only a couple of GPs that have had drizzle and that was on practice days.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

Did you see any of the comments on the post-cancellation press conference. Loris finished answering a question about whether or not the Ducati team was asked (after the same guy asking it 3 or so times) and then the stream finished. Suddenly the comment feed erupted with "THEY STOPPED THE STREAM TO COVER THEIR LIES!!" and crap to that effect! People really got worked up about the whooole thing!I have enjoyed the Internet fury over this debacle, including cries to move the GP to another track as punishment.

Personally, I just sat back and watched! The folks calling for Silverstone to be punished for the weather really got me. Whether it was financially (some people were calling for the circuit to be sued on FaceBrick) or changing to another circuit, it was all just such a load of bollocks. Whilst I'd love to see the GP back at Donington or over at the vacant plot of land which is "The Circuit of Wales", it's just such an overreaction IMHO.
The Wales circuit looked like a promising project and I'm disappointed it died the death it did but you're right, they would have needed Super-Drainage-5000 with all the rain they'd cop!

As posted previously Mat Oxley was threatened with legal action by the asphalt contractors. I thought he was laying low, but overnight he came back with a long series of quotes on Twitter. Quotes from Race Direction, the various teams, and some of the riders. All making the point that the track was unsafe due to standing water.
I hope Motor Sport Magazine print his remarks but... The contractor is owned by a conglomerate, the sort that hire lawyers to silence any news they don't like, although in this case that may just cause them learn the meaning of the phrase "the Streisand effect".

To me, the Circuit of Wales always look too much like a scheme to enrichen the promoters at the expense of government and local councils. The head banana got a lot of money in 'consultancy fees' and a lot of (non-binding) promises were made. Nice work if you can get it.

Unfortunately I fear you may be correct.

Overnight our time a group of five MotoGP riders along with other team members were presented to the Pope at the vatican. I'm sure the Italian and Spanish riders knew how to behave, but Jack Miller?
Do the other riders consider a blessing by the Pope to be an unfair advantage.Marquez doesn't need such a boost, but Pedro could use it.

Mat Oxley wrote overnight that he has written a follow-up piece on the events surrounding the Sliverstone GP. The piece won't appear until tomorrow though because it first has to be cleared by the lawyers.
It's a strange world we are living in.
