    I've read and heard some comments by Rossi that he wants to go into 4 wheel racing - he can potentially do that for 10-15 years. Indy cars, saloon cars, endurance etc..

    Lecuona was hoping to be out of isolation and back in action today but has returned a positive COVID swab.

    I must say this is very well deserved.

    Great last lap.

    Awesome seeing Suzuki winning the rider’s championship again. Hard to believe it was a dude named Roberts who won it last..... I think it was anyway.

    Suzuki issued a paper acknowledging those who made significant contributions along the way. Mat Oxley was excited that Ernst Degner's design work was acknowledged. The next entry got my attention - Hugh Anderson.

    Indeed well deserved.

    Able to spot a pattern, I'd say the next one was due 2050, or just before petrol runs out.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Jack Miller will either win this weekend or crash trying I think, he's been robbed so many times this season and I think he really wants to give his team their first win before leaving for Ducati
    Its going to be interesting as its such an odd track, I've raced it on Sim games and its as they say, 70% of the corners are blind entry so you kind of have to guess and hope for the best. I think Miller with his MotoX experience will do well, its just weather they can get the bike working I guess.

    Gunna be a fun Sunday night/Monday morning

    These guys don't guess....it's all about reference points and turn points. Any good racer knows where they are...the biggest job on a circuit like that is establishing those points.

    Yes I know this, they'll have their turn in points sorted come race day for sure. The problem will be is they'll be on circuit on a motogp bike for the first time so will have to be adapting their lines each practice session as well as trying to get the bike set up. Tall order.

    The racers are saying its one of the hardest circuits to learn, so going to be interesting to see who cracks the code first. I wonder if Olivera will know it any better than the others?

    Mat Oxley had a whinge. Seemingly justified. Only team PR people are allowed into the media centre. The journos get an empty room with a couple of tables. The Internet access is crap, they have to use their phone as a hotspot.

    Treating the people who take your message to the world that way seems counterproductive.
