    Having watched all three races now I have a question. What will Acosta be riding next year? He should just about be able to take his pick. Is there a vacancy at Repsol?

    Yeh but what I have noticed Aleix always seems to have something left towards the end. It seems good on its tyres if they change it to much he might loose that
    Same I'd like to see him win it this year. Obviously a passionate guy "The Captain". Consistency wins

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    It seemed he was a bit quiet since he came to Moto2. Last year in Moto3 he arrived already used to the bikes, he finished second in his first race, then won the next three. In Moto2 he required a period of adjustment. It would seem that's over.

    At Mugello he became the youngest ever winner in the intermediate class, beating the previous record held by Mark Marquez. Anyone breaking Marquez' records has to be worth watching.

    To quote MM himself "He rides different" or something to that effect.

    He's done his learning, now look out. Canet is good but he's a crasher, always has been... Ogura is the main threat I reckon

    One thing I noticed with Pedro's riding, he is elbows high and body upwards in hard braking in to corners, looks really odd

    Oncu has copied this style late last year and definitely this year

    I like the way they lean into corners. Has anyone else noticed that? Surprising they don't fall over. Young men in a rush. I'm sure no good will come of it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Interesting, I shall have a nosey next time. I did notice in Moto3 just how much confidence he had when it got out of shape.

    Mad innit?

    Its always funny when people say that to me when they see some photos of me or others racing, like how don't you fall over? I'm like I do half the time lol. Really hard to explain how it doesn't feel like you're doing that when on the bike though, wonder how it feels to have the elbow and shoulder dragging too like Fabio? Cranked!

    Today's news is, FQ has resigned with Yamaha.. apparently they made some promise to him, but I havent watched the interview yet to find out what it was, if they said it.

    What a colossal idiot.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Pol is getting the shaft at Honda pretty poor I reckon

    Pol and Miller will be fighting over the same seats in this climate prob on a shit KTM.

    Hahaha, ahh English, how you are such a shit language.


    Not that I know any others.

    Except for Klingon, and mostly that's just grunting and flatulence.

    Taka would be great in superbikes.

    Pol would just spoil it.

    Put him ona Duckitti or better yet, teammate to his brother and light the fuse. His dream move to hrc was sadly timed to thier lowest ebb.
