    That's what makes it so heartfelt.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Having said that, I'd be thrilled to see him win. Despite my scepticism he has worked extremely hard to get where he is, on the minimum level of talent required to make it to MotoGP.
    Where as I remember what he did in Moto3, solid consistent championship where he was down on power to the Hondas yet still gave them a damn good run despite coming up against the much hallowed Alex Marquez and Spanish armada. If Alex Marquez hadn't taken him out in that wet race he'd have a moto3 title, that was so bizzare of them not to penalise as they've hammered riders for doing the same many times since. I suspect the last name helped...

    There was a reason Honda grabbed him straight outta Moto3, just a shame they put him on the worst Motogp bike in the paddock. Ever since he's been on the Ducati he's really matured and worked his way forward.

    Millers made of the right stuff I reckon and he's exactly the right amount of crazy to win shit, bring it on!

    He reminds me of Randy Mamola. Can ride a bike better than anyone. Can not fight the red mist and doesn't do politics well. He's in the most Machiavellian MotoGP team ever now. Deep end of the pool. The sharks have legs and they stand on your head when it's on the bottom of the pool.

    When D'all'igna went to Ducati the bike was a dog yet he said his top priority was a communication problem. WTF? In due course we learned what the problem was. The engineers at the factory were very conscious of their status and did not see why they should listen to humble mechanics. Any criticism of the bike was treated as an insult. Some examples of this became apparent with time.

    Dall'igna reportedly told them that the guys in the team drove the effort, and any engineer who felt he could not take direction from a team mechanic should look for another job.

    The Ducati team is run on a shoe string compared to the Japanese factories, but if they can win great. They are certainly trying different things.

    Miller had his problems, f'rinstance once he got fat between seasons . Puig had to sort him out. Hopefully he has matured and Ducati can give him a bike capable of doing the business. The Spanish and Italian anthems will get monotonous otherwise.

    The only other experienced Ducati rider is Zarco, so they really need Miller to do well. I doubt any of the other top riders would sign for them now, and Ducati probably can't afford them anyway.

    MotoGP Subscription ... unaffordable for me this year

    Sorry if already been discussed

    A subscription from the MotoGP site @ NZ$233 has grown a little out of my league.

    My fall back is downloading a torrent post race or watching live on some dodgy low resolution stream.
    What is some alternatives others use please ?

    That certainly seems a jump on whatever I paid. I guess I'd have to console myself that it's only a bit over two months SKY subscription. If SKY don't show the GPs they'll get the axe and I'll pay the Dorna sub.

    I have been told that a torrent of the BTSport coverage is available within a couple of hours from https://www.ettv.be/user/smcgill1969
    It is available in time for Monday morning viewers. Handy since most races only start at midnight or later NZ time.

    The same source informs me that the purchase of an inexpensive Android media box and the right free software allows one to turn ones TV into a 'Smart TV' and view BTSport (and many others) as a live stream.

    Interesting. A VPN lets me see the BTSport clips. It might work for the races as well? For the ones at a suitable hour anyway.

    My anonymous source used the Mobdro app, but alas, the management was nicked and the channel shut down. Some more testing is under way for a reliable source.

    Cheapest way to buy Videopass is the Android Play store. $180 this year.

    I have one of those wee boxes. And indeed you can watch TV worldwide, all of the UK channels. Problem is, staying awake.

    Quite a lot of Sky Channels, too, IIRC.

    Ultimately I found it to much faff and rarely use it now the novelty has worn off.
