If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

Rossi's mechanics have a light work load of course. They are going to the track rather than sit in a hotel room. After 28 years in the GP paddock Alex Briggs has been posting on Twitter about some first time experiences. Like being a spectator, taking race photographs, getting a tour of the TV control unit (was not allowed to take photos). Also being interviewed, but he's done that before.
He wears his rather odd looking helmet because it complies with scooter regulations, and lets him listen to the chatter in MVs pit box.

The Spaniards especially, believe that the Repsol team is the absolute pinnacle of teams in the game. That being actually the case is debatable of course.
So, any Spaniard who has the opportunity to sign for them, does so. Hence AsparagusP going there.
It seems odd to me that you would not allow yourself to truely evaluate your current rider first though, but there you go, that is their business.
While not a #73 fan myself, his burn rate is much slower than that of #93, his record is nonetheless pretty good.
And having an established rider and a rookie together would seem to be a good idea.
But in the face of it, Pol should go well on the RCV bike.
MaqA will receive a bit/lot more support at LCR than Cal does/did, simply due to that stronger Repsol/Spain connection and his new found performances.
Remembering, he and Takka are the only riders to finish every race so far (I think that is right??).

Not just you. They signed AM before he had ridden a MotoGP bike, then before he'd had a reasonable chance to adjust, they dropped him. Or at least promoted him sideways. Realistically all that was required of him was that he be a wing man for his brother, his last couple of performances make it appear he could have managed that.

Anyone offering opinions on whether Masia should have been docked a place for venturing onto 'the green'?
IMO he should have been.
In order to avoid the green he could have slowed down.
I think it was inconsistent and unfair of Race Control, because they will ping someone else for exactly the same thing sooner or later.
That would have worked out well for my sweepstake with Cormac Racing! And extra 5 points for BinD would have been nice for me.
Here's me after saying the other day that BinD is 5th - 10th place rider only, now I am picking him to win.
Yes, fickle. That's me.

Maybe they were concerned about what would happen if they were fighting for 1st and 2nd or something (MM and AM)

AM only got the Repsol seat due to the strange circumstances of Jorge calling it quits.
They replaced him with Pol as Pol had been doing great things on the KTM and they needed a good rider to partner Marc.
Now that Alex is showing potential he's possibly deserving of the Repsol seat but realistically his true seat was always going to be in LCR. If Pol doesn't perform next year he'll be goneskis though I'd say.
