    He's always been regarded as "special", the rules were changed specifically to permit him to ride in Moto3.

    He had already won the CEV Spanish championship twice but was still only fifteen at the start of the next season. To ride Moto3 in GPs the rules said he needed to be sixteen. So the rule was changed to say that riders needed to be sixteen - unless they were the current CEV champion in which case they could start at fifteen.

    They don't change the rules for just anybody. That's definitely special.

    It might not be the one you’re asking about but Peter Stevens Motorcycles in Melbourne is like a motorcycle Aladin’s cave. They are agents for a number of brands. Not Ducati though, Ducati had a boutique across the street. All polished black marble, very chic.

    I just bought the Aussie dollars from my bank, the town branch has a currency exchange.

    Enjoy.

    In the last four trips to Aussie I've never owned an Aussie dollar.
    I have an eft pos card that works here & in Aussie, if you want some cash just do it at Auckland airport.

    Get out to Ringwood, plenty of bike shops, and Peter Stevens has a massive modern complex out there.

    Foggy start to the day at PI. All four seasons in a day is normal, but fog is one thing I didn't see. The forecast for the weekend is not great apparently.

    Just go go the money machine. Anything with a plus symbol.

    Take or buy a small tarpaulin and a backpack. The wind can blow cold, but it can change and be 'pearler' in the same day.

    They serve beer in Australia. It's not particularly good but it will get you drunk
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
