    Yep. MM didn't punt him outside the white lines of the track. Do we need to start painting lines around the dirty patches?

    Slightly off topic but has anyone else been enjoying the Simon Crafar laps around each circuit on Youtube. Man still rides bloody well, must be hard to put in a decent looking lap and talk at the same time but he manages it. Those S1000rrs are bloody quick

    Crafar is getting favourable comments from other pundits. He sees things others with less experience would not. Things such as one factory rider having a longer swing arm than his mate, a different steering head angle on one bike. This weekend he was spotted counting the clicks being dialled into Marquez' suspension. (Crafer worked as an Ohlins tech too if I recall correctly.)

    When not working as a pit lane reporter he may still be turning some pretty fast laps around Aragon etc with his riding school.

    The comment "they say break at 200 but that's for wusses" as he sails in there at 280kmph.
    Brilliant

    Its a bit rich JL saying it was MMs fault.JL has put some bloody hard passes on MM in the last few weeks.At Austria I reckon anyone else would have crashed after one of his passes!
    I have new found respect for Dovi.Have mostly regarded him as a very methodical clever journeyman but he showed some real ability and class tonight!(just watched it!)
    Can anyone explain why MV is so slow at the start!It must be the full fuel tank?!?He is always one of the fastest at the end of the race

    David Emmett forwarded an interesting message, it was in Italian or Spanish or... As translated, it said that Lorenzo was just going to Honda to find out all their secrets, then he'll go back to Ducati.

    That suggested a new word to Emmett, "conspiranoiea". Seems appropriate. Life for some people must be sooo complicated.

    And after spending years on Kiwibiker this came as a surprise?

    I suspect not...

    JLo needs someone in his garage to just tell him to shut up. Saying what you believe to be true may seem the right thing to do but if you've no self awareness.......

    Water off a ducks back to MM. To shake his self belief you'd probably have to be beating him regularly for a start.

    Perhaps him and Serena are really the soul buddies that went to the same charm school.

    Ha, I'm pretty sure he will soon discover Hondas secret part. It is called the Marc Marquez. All JLo needs to do is sneak back to Ducati and have the Marc Marquez installed and the Ducati will start a dynasty of domination MWAHAHAHAHA
