    I feel so sorry for him, he's had such an utterly shit year after so many great ones!

    11th place... I am hoping he will win at Valencia to finish his career in style.
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    Freddie Spencer has been appointed head of the FIM Moto GP stewards panel. He replaces Mike Webb who will remain head of Race Direction.

    I suppose that means no more vlogs from him after races, which I will miss.

    A bit of silliness to promote the Japanese GP?

    Don't try this at home, expert riders, closed roads, blah blah blah.

    AGV Australia have put up a post and photo about Jack Miller qualifying in 3rd..

    https://www.facebook.com/agvhelmetsa...type=3&theater

    Watch him bravely fight his way back to 8/9th by the chequered flag

    Don't get me wrong, I'm quite taken by the little bogan, he's a brilliant rider... But I'd be surprised if he finished in the top 5

    Wonder if Petrux realises he's just keeping that seat warm next year for when Miller or Bags take it in 2020?

    If Miller can stop crashing during races that is


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    The FIM stewards have announced that Quateraro's bike was found to have lower than permitted pressure in the rear tyre at the technical inspection following the race. He has therefore been disqualified.

    Totally fucked imo.

    Clearly if he finished n won the race surely it was safe.
    Mad world we live in when the riders can't set up the bike to work for them.

    IIRC a while back there was a problem with 'exploding' tyres, the names Redding and Hayden seem to come to mind. The tyre manufacturers requested, and got, rules regarding minimum pressures.

    Quateraro was only about 0.02 down (they didn't say 0.02 what). Somebody suggested on social media that much air could have been lost connecting the gauge, but they don't use a gauge. There are sensors in the wheels and the pressures are recorded throughout the race.

    Since there is a rule, and it's there for safety reasons, I don't have a problem with it.
