    Panic mode aside, or rather perhaps because of it at a government level, will we see any cancellation of races for Coronavirus?
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Not impossible. We can but hope.

    Thailand is scheduled for 22 March, North and South America round that time too.

    Between then and late in the season the action is all in Europe. Guess it depends on where the disease decides to spread.

    Some huge gains in top speed been made. Thinking the new Ducati aero is designed such that when Miller hits the drop arse button it reduces some of the drag.

    Ducati once again pioneering while the other teams try to keep up, all they need is the right riders on the factory bikes

    355 is getting a bit crazy. OK at Losail, but Mugello and PI were dangerous enough in 2019.

    Could be an interesting year if you're an Aprillia rider!

    I heard it was all started by a bad batch of Mexican beer.

    Apparently some 38% of Yanks won't buy the beer - just in case. Probably the same 38% that support Trump. Since I was out and about Saturday night, and since Corona was available, I'd thought I'd better show some support.

    A survey of 737 beer drinkers doesn't really represent America. No doubt some of those 737 voted Trump, no doubt some of them voted Clinton. But still only 737 people isn't indicative of anything.

    https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/su...irus-outbreak/

    5W Public Relations said that 38% of Americans wouldn’t buy Corona “under any circumstances” because of the outbreak, and another 14% said they wouldn’t order a Corona in public. The survey encompasses polling from 737 beer drinkers in the United States.

    Give others chance to shine.
